I am selling this super rare and sought after and collectable Yoshimitsu Tamahagane Gyuto 210mm with an dark blueish Custom Handle by Isaiah Schroeder. Bought this one on CKTG in 2013. The blade with an baeutiful hand engraved Kanji and stamped Kanji got repolished and is in an good condition.
Yoshimitsu was established as steel wheel blacksmith in Nagasaki since 1852 The way to acquire high quality steel or lower grade steel in Japan until 1868 before Japan opened the country to Euro countries and United State was to get from Tatara which is burn iron sand in charcoal three days and three nights. Japanese blacksmiths used to use forged iron or steel for the places where need to be hard to wear, so good wheels and hardware had been made by forged iron or steel.
There are two things what very famous about Yoshimitsu which works with five Brothers, and the oldest brother who is over 90 Years old president of Yoshimitsu.
The other thing is what Yoshimitsu makes very famous is what they make own Tamahagane from Iron sand and charcoal burning three days and nights. That is why they can use their knives to Tamahagane and Watetsu.
They make own Hagane and Jigane is used over 200 years old hardware, so they have lots of knowledge and experiences from their works from steel production to the end of process cutlery making.
blade length: 208mm
blade heigth: 47mm
overall knife length: 347mm
the tamahagane core has at least 62 HRC, but its super hard to tell as they do everything by hand and feel. with an soft iron Cladding.
750USD or send me your offer, I am open for trades
