The Hanmā series is crafted in Japan using premium VG10 stainless steel, offering an excellent balance between cutting performance, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Widely recognized as one of the most popular stainless steels in Japanese kitchen knives, VG10 performs exceptionally well in both demanding professional environments and everyday home cooking.

This 210mm Gyuto delivers the kind of performance that makes a knife easy to reach for every single day: sharp, reliable, responsive, and comfortable through long prep sessions. The size sits perfectly in that versatile middle ground — large enough to handle proteins, larger vegetables, and full prep work comfortably, while still remaining agile and controlled on the board. The profile combines a gentle curve for rocking cuts, a flatter rear section for clean push cutting, and a fine tip that stays precise for detail work. It’s realistically the type of knife capable of handling the majority of kitchen tasks on its own.

Visually, the Hanmā series stands out with its striking hammered Tsuchime texture and flowing Damascus finish, giving the blade depth and movement under different lighting. This particular knife has been custom assembled here at the shop as a true 1 of 1 build, fitted with a stunning stabilized Amboyna burl handle paired to rich pearl white epoxy accents. The handle carries an almost deep forest-like appearance, full of natural movement, layered contrast, and organic texture that shifts depending on the angle and light. The warmer Amboyna tones flow beautifully into the blade while the pearl white epoxy adds a brighter modern contrast that keeps the overall build refined and highly unique.

A true all-rounder that blends performance, stainless practicality, traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and custom character into a single piece.
