Mutsumi-san is the fourth generation of the Hinoura family of blacksmiths in Niigata and the son of the renowned Tsukasa Hinoura. After making his name as Mutsumi Hinoura, he now forges under his own workshop's name, including the Hagokoro range.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHis knives carry the qualities he is known for: precise heat treatment, refined finishing and outstanding cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from White2 (Shirogami #2) steel, one of the purest Japanese carbon steels, made by Hitachi in Yasugi. Its simple, clean makeup gives a very fine grain, so it takes an exceptionally keen edge and is quick and satisfying to sharpen on a whetstone. It is also a little more forgiving than White1, which makes it a great first carbon steel knife. As a carbon steel it is not stainless, so wipe it dry after use and keep it lightly oiled to prevent rust. Over time it will develop a natural patina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsuchinone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902225383709,"sku":"TSU-BU180-WH2-3709","price":1689.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/1014\/8893\/files\/IMG_20261107_161422.jpg?v=1794032169","url":"https:\/\/japaneseknifestudio.com.au\/products\/tsuchinone-hagokoro-white2-kasumi-bunka-180mm-iron-clad","provider":"JAPANESE KNIFE STUDIO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
