The three (3) layers and a Aus 8 core for the Shikisai Kyo range by Shizu Homono in Seki Japan, are seamless and lightweight. The handle moulds beautifully, with a pinch or straight grip equally well. Easy cleaning by simply rinsing.
Extremely durable blade at 60 Rockwell C, and sharpens to an incredible edge with such a fine profile. The finish and consistency of Shizu forging is remarkable.
