AT THE BOARD / 天然ハマチ

A smooth draw, even through firm wild hamachi.

The 300 mm blade makes an unforced draw through firm-fleshed wild hamachi. At the board, the appeal of this 源泉正柳刃 becomes clear: a blade that adds a little more pleasure to preparing fish.

OWNER’S NOTES

What draws me to this blade.

A 300 mm 柳刃 in 青紙二号 with a light octagonal magnolia handle. A longer companion to the everyday 240 mm blade.

A story that grows with use.

The light magnolia handle makes the long blade feel approachable. Comparisons at the board will be added as the collection is put to use.
