Notice about White and Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for Mizuno Tanrenjo Knives
Unfortunately, Mizuno Tanrenjo and most other knife makers are now struggling to find the raw materials to make White or Marbled Water Buffalo Horn Ferrules for their knife handles. 
Due to these difficult and unfortunate circumstances, we regret to inform our customers that Mizuno Tanrenjo is no longer able to accept requests for a specific color of Water Buffalo Horn Ferrule. However, we firmly believe in the high quality and craftsmanship of Mizuno Tanrenjo’s traditionally-forged Japanese knives - They are one of the most well-respected producers of traditionally-forged Japanese knives - and we highly recommend them!
Thank you very much for your understanding and attention.

    Such a great Gyuto

    After purchasing the blue 1 KS version, I couldn't resist to get the Mizuno Tanrenjo Akitada Honranren series, but this time with Shinogi. Man, it's fantastic. Great blade shape and geometry and sharp out of the box. Highly recommended!

    Great knife.

    Knife lives up beyond my expectations. Not a laser but maybe a refined workhorse. You won’t be disappointed

    300 mm gyuto

    As a chef I wanted a longer workhorse knife for large vegetables and large amounts of mire poix/soffrito. I asked for the longest 300 mm gyuto that Mizuno had as well as the highest heel height. I have the Mizuno Blue nr 1 gyuto in 270 mm. That is plenty of length for most but the actual edge is closer to 260. A bit of a steeper edge and more bite thanks to a rougher stone improved the 270 for my needs. I live in a Nordic country and cut a lot of root veggies and cabbage. They both can wedge a bit with larger, harder root veggies but sometimes I want the extra durability of more thickness behind the edge. For softer vegetables and fruits, fish and meat they are fine as they are. The 240 version of Mizuno's gyuto (unlike the KS model) have a lot of belly and very little flat spot which doesn't suit me. The 270 and 300 do have the longer flat spot and that is why I have these. The magnolia handles are great and give them a nice blade forward balance.

    A workhorse heirloom-quality chef knife

    This is a great blue#2 gyuto. Mizunos are a bit shorter than some 240mm gyutos, which makes for a more nimble but still fully capable blade. It it not laser-thin, still substantial, but yet mange’s to fly through food better than many of my other knives. The knife comes in with a fairly sharp spine, which is typical for high end Japanese knives where they give you an ability to customize it. 3 minutes of fine-grit sandpaper polished the spine and brought it to exactly what I like. The geometry is also very nice, with good distal taper and almost symmetrical shape that supports good rocking cut as well as push cut and fine tip work. I upgraded to the ebony octagon handle, which makes for an even classier knife.
