A freshly minted Honyaki Gyuto is truly impressive with a high gloss finish and subtle hamon but it is only after use, that it will form its unique patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade transforms from shiny to varying shade of grey as it comes in contact with different foods. If you want a knife that will remain pretty buy a stainless steel knife. But if you want a knife that will develop character buy a honyaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is hand forged and hand sharpened in Sakai before re-finishing to a high mirror glaze by Nenohi. The handle is a specially selected piece of hon-kokutan (true ebony).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade also features a beautiful hamon that is naturally formed during the quenching process (unlike the modern trend of creating a hamon with sandblasting).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife deserves to be used by someone with great skill or loved by a collector with very discerning taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNenohi and the pursuit of excellence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Customers looking for genuinely good knives always come to us ... We usually do not take the cost into consideration when we develop a new product. When makers develop a new product, they usually set the price first, then, develop a knife meeting the set price. We do totally the opposite. We develop a knife first, the best knife we can create without thinking of the cost, then, set the price which meets the newly developed knife. That’s why our knives are not cheap - the only downside of our knives.\" Yusuke Sawada president of Nenohi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly sharpen on sharpening stones.
