A true honyaki blade (single steel construction) with a real hamon formed by clay hardening and water quench — not etched, not printed.
Hamon options:
Suguha (calm straight line)
O-choji / Ko-choji (clove waves — bold or tighter)
Notare (rolling waves)
Gunome (rhythmic peaks)
My favourite: “Wild Hamon” — I guide the process, but I let fire, clay, water, and steel decide the final movement. No two will ever match.
Two supporting knives built in San Mai: a tamahagane (hagane) core for the cutting edge, wrapped in 200-year-old iron cladding for toughness and deep, one-of-one character.
Some cooks want a laser (thin, fast, precise). Others want a workhorse (more support, more confidence, more forgiving).
I can finish your set either way — we’ll match the knives to your cutting style and what you cook most.
3-knife set: $3,400 USD
Forged as a matched set from one tamahagane block — a modern kitchen “daishō,” made with old-world discipline and a bit of controlled chaos.
If you tell me which 2 companion knives you want (common picks: Petty 150mm, Bunka 165mm, Nakiri 180mm, Sujihiki 270mm), I’ll rewrite this as a final, shop-ready listing with your exact lineup.
