Hitohira TD Blue #2 Stainless Clad Kurouchi Bunka 170mm Ho Wood Handle (D-Shape)

$196.00

The TD Blue #2 line is a perfect blade to get a taste of carbon steel without the full maintenance headache, thanks to the stainless cladding that protects most of the surface area from rust, while you can enjoy the long edge life and sharpness of blue #2 carbon steel. 

We find this construction to be the best of both types of steel, and hope more people try out this amazing high-carbon steel!  (one must keep clean and dry the whole blade often to prevent it from rusting, and a benign discolouration/patina will form regardless). 

A Bunka is a Santoku (an all-purpose knife) with a kiritsuke-tip. The accentuated tip is great for delicate work, whilst sharing the same versatility as the Santoku. It is a great knife as an addition to an existing all-purpose blade or as a first all-purpose knife for any cook.
