From Tanaka Yoshikazu in Sakai this amazing Blue 1 steel blade !
Heat-treat and sharpness this knives get is amazing, with this super clean steel it is super easy to sharpen it up on Natural stones.
It is finished by Mitimoto Nakajima also in Sakai with Sanjo like finish parallel scratches for easy maintains, and sharpened to super thin edge
It is also super thin behind the edge ! This kind of super thin knives i think is worth having around your knife setup, as it can do some things that heavier knife like Kato or shigefusa cant
Profile is also different on this one, Higher at the heal but still have very usable tip
