Ittetsu Kurouchi | 180mm Kiritsuke Gyuto Tall Knife (Shirogami)
Hand-crafted in Echizen Japan, Ittetsu Kurouchi are a high performance carbon steel knife with a rustic aesthetic. The fit and finish of these knives is a little lower than others but the performance makes up for it, it is amazing value for a White #1 hand forged knife.
These knives are quite tall for their size, and the grind on this batch is slightly thicker than normal. It would make this knife a great work-horse or a project to thin and polish.
