Its monosteel blade is differentially hardened with a traditional water quench, creating the visible hamon that distinguishes true mizu honyaki construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA highly polished mirror finish gives the blade exceptional visual depth while revealing the transition between the hardened edge and softer spine.

Blue #2 offers a fine, keen edge with strong retention, while Morihiro’s double-bevel sharpening gives the knife refined geometry for controlled, accurate cuts. The blade is fully reactive and will develop a natural patina through use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a separate Morihiro-sharpened piece and is not the Shuji Yamaguchi-sharpened tall blade-only model elsewhere in our catalog.
