Clear All Piece of art Review by Johnathan S. on 8 May 2020 review stating Piece of art If you can find one in stock pick it up. Great balance with a great grind. The spine is thick at the handle but thins out fast to a really thin tip. I noticed the blue 2 steel was a bit more reactive than usual for that steel. It's not a bad thing but something to keep in mind. He's 70 so who knows how much longer he'll be making knives After 50 years, Anryu san has retired and given over his business to his longtime, trusted apprentice, Ikeda san. Anryu is 80 now and only works part-time forging knives for the business. The knife is constructed of a Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel core hardened to 63 HRC wrapped in stainless steel for easy maintenance. The core steel will take an extremely keen edge with ease and hold that edge for a long time. Mr. Anryu's Hammered line has built a reputation among Japanese knife enthusiasts for its high-performance grinds and rustic yet refined aesthetics. As this is a handmade knife, make allowances for variations in dimensions between knives. Please note that the carbon steel core of this knife will patina with normal use and can rust if neglected.
