The blacksmiths, sharpeners, and even the lacquer-ware craftsmen are all amazingly skilled, as can clearly be seen by simply looking at the knives. In fact, all of the craftsmen are certified craftsmen or dentou-kougeishi (a very prestigious honor). These knives have amazing fit and finish, spectacular grinds, some of the most beautiful handles and saya we've seen on Japanese knives, and amazing geometry.

The high-quality construction includes a blue #1 hagane and a soft iron jigane. The grind of the knife is finished off very well to the exclusion of the many large high-and-low spots common on more affordable single bevel knives. This means that each subsequent sharpening that is done to this knife will be off to a good start. The spine and choil are polished and the choil is rounded off to relieve you of any uncomfortable hotspots. The blade is thin relative to many other deba and as such will be more nimble and lightweight in the hand.

The blacksmiths, sharpeners, and even the lacquer-ware craftsmen are all amazingly skilled, as can clearly be seen by simply looking at the knives. In fact, all of the craftsmen are certified craftsmen or dentou-kougeishi (a very prestigious honor). These knives have amazing fit and finish, spectacular grinds, some of the most beautiful handles and saya we've seen on Japanese knives, and amazing geometry. They are really thin behind the edge, have great distal taper, and have wide bevels, making them easier to thin and sharpen. The lacquer craftsmen use real lacquer on these, not the synthetic lacquer more commonly used. Even the boxes are beautiful lacquer-ware. This 210mm version pairs a kiritsuke-shaped tip with a clad Blue #1 carbon steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiritsuke-Shaped Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #1 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Lacquered Ho Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 197mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.56mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.51mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.25mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.88mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Baba Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43699850838077,"sku":"GKR210KWGB1LLR","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/Gesshin_Kagekiyo_210mm_Blue_1_Kiritsuke_Wa-Gyuto-front.jpg?v=1790900794"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/collections\/Gesshin_Kagekiyo_Blue_1.png?v=1772760566","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/collections\/gesshin-kagekiyo-blue-1.oembed","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
