This Running Man Forge custom piece is handcrafted in the USA using a mixed approach in craftsmanship. On the one hand, the traditional Japanese-style blade techniques are clearly present. For example, the hand-forged blade has a Kurouchi finish, is extremely thin and light-weight, with a gyuto shape and edge profile to match. The cutting edge steel is made with high-quality 1084 carbon. On the other hand, the handle is western-style, also known as a Yo handle. The full-tang is visibly sandwiched between the curly walnut and black liners on each side.
This blend of craftsmanship has a distinct feel, perfect for those looking for a dexterous and wicked-sharp Japanese blade performance that is complimented with an ergonomically curved Yo handle. At 215mm, this custom knife offers precision and durability for all your kitchen needs. The grey-brown walnut handle material adds a unique taste to support a familiar comfort.
