Tagai Sanjo 165mm Santoku Stainless Clad Shirogami 2 Oak and Wenge Handle
Tagai knives are a collaboration born in Sanjo Niigata featuring the smithing of several well respected Sanjo blacksmiths; Mutsumi Hinoura and Takashi Hosokawa (from Gihei).
These are forged in stainless clad shirogami 2 with a kurouchi finish, they have the classic Sanjo geometry with strong distal taper and a square leaning oak and wenge octagonal handle, also made in Sanjo specifically for this series.
The shirogami in the core is expertly forged and heat treated, they have a fabulous blend of easy sharpening, fine edge formation and good edge life for shirogami 2 along with a much easier maintenance with their stainless cladding.
