Description: Up for auction is a Masakage Mizu 170mm Santoku. This knife is made with an Aogami #2 carbon steel core wrapped in a reactive iron cladding. Neither steel is stainless, so the blade will eventually patina and does require some care in maintenance. Aogami #2 easily takes and retains very sharp edges. The deep blue/black kurouchi finish resembles deep, cold water, hence the name “mizu,” Japanese for “water.” This line of knives was originally handmade in Takefu Village by master blacksmith Katsushige Anryu, but when Anryu-san retired, Takumi Ikeda took over. This knife is brand new in the box and has never been used or sharpened. Steel: Blue Steel #2 with iron cladding. No stainless properties, so a patina will form with normal use.Handle: Oval Cherry Wood. Ferrule: Marbled pattern Resin.Weight: 126gBlade edge length: 170mm Height at the heel: 46mm Feel free to ask any questions.
