Description
Sakai Takayuki Homura Guren
Forged by the knife smith Itsuo Doi in Sakai, an area known for its long knife traditions. The Homura Guren series stands out with its rough, dark kurouchi look combined with a careful, precise finish.
The blade has a core of Aogami #2 carbon steel, which gives very good sharpness and long edge life and is easy to sharpen. The core steel is clad in softer iron, which gives a good balance between performance and durability in daily use.
The knives are a little heavier than many other Japanese knives, which gives a stable, controlled feel on the board. The result is a solid workhorse that suits precise work as well as larger amounts of ingredients.
A good choice if you want a classic Japanese knife with clear character, in both look and performance.
