Stunning in every way, this 152mm / 6.0" hanyaki forged honesuki by James Oatley in W2 carbon steel features single-bevel geometry with a sharp, hard and fine edge. The forge-finished and textured hira (flat) flows beautifully into the matte, hand-sanded bevel that boasts a nearly perfect hamon line, a result of James' superb hanyaki process. Lacewood and ebony form the handle, comfortable and natural in the hand. The matching saya is made from ebony with a lacewood pin.
