Takamura Migaki SG2 Gyuto 210mm White Steel I was used to getting

I was used to getting dirty and working with my hands – so I was thrilled to learn that Hereford College of Arts ran a blacksmithing course

5mm Blade Material: White 2 Carbon Steel Core + Soft Iron Clad Handle Material: Octagon Walnut w/Pakka Wood Bolster HRC: 62-63

which has culminated in the immaculate pieces you see here

Handle Material: Octagon Pakkawood w/white spacer HRC 61

It requires a little more care and maintenance than something like VG-10 (Stainless Steel)
