This Special Custom Order Mizuno Tanrenjo Ao Hagane DX Suminagashi Series Wa-Gyuto knife evolved from the design concept and vision described below:

尖った TOGATTA Wa Gyuto”
A sleek, slim design with a sharp, pointed blade tip that facilitates controlled, precise cuts and improves cutting performance. This design is particularly effective for slicing meat and fish, where the enhanced cutting precision and controlability offered by the pointed blade tip result in a superior cutting experience.

The Akitada Ao Hagane DX Suminagashi Wa Gyuto is the highest-grade of knives among Mizuno Tanrenjo large selections and is made using Hitachi Aogami #1 (Blue Steel No1; HRc. 62-63). Blue Steel No.1 Wa-Bocho (Japanese traditional-style knives) are rarely seen because the high Carbon content (1.30-1.40%) of the steel makes it difficult to work with. Blue Steel No.1 also contains greater amounts of Chromium (0.30 -0.50%) and Tungsten / Wolfram (1.50- 2.00%) than Blue Steel No.2, which form hard carbides in the steel and thus improve edge retention.

This is the very limited "Special Order" edition hand made by Mizuno Tanrenjo with traditional "Hizukuri" forging process backed by their 140 years of knifemaking history. They have devoted all their energies and techniques to pursue total beauty and functionality to be one-of-a-kind knife in the world.

    This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use. For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened  50/50 without problems. 

    We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for long times.
