Gesshin Ittetsu 270mm Blue #2 Hon-Kasumi Wa-Sujihiki

This Gesshin Ittetsu 270mm Blue #2 Hon-Kasumi Wa-Sujihiki comes with a ho wood octagonal handle and matching saya. The sides of this knife have a misty white polish and the core steel can be seen in a slightly more polished finish near the edge. When visiting Ittetsu a few years ago, we saw this kind of finish on some knives in their workshop and asked if we could have some made. The profile and grind are very nice and the polish is really fascinating.
