Hatsukokoro Hyomon White 2 Mirror Damascus 240mm Gyuto – Octagonal Ebony & White Handle

The ‘Ice Crest’ Masterpiece by Takahiro Nihei

Experience the ultimate fusion of performance and artistry with the Hatsukokoro Hyomon White 2 Damascus Gyuto. Hand-forged by the renowned blacksmith Takahiro Nihei—famous for his work on the legendary Konosuke knives—this 24cm chef’s knife is a testament to Japanese craftsmanship. The name ‘Hyomon’ translates to ‘Ice Crest,’ a tribute to the stunning mirror-finished Damascus cladding that creates a prismatic rainbow effect when caught in the light, resembling sunbeams through ice.

Precision Forged Performance

At the core of this blade is Shirogami (White) #2 steel, a favorite among professional chefs for its ability to take an incredibly fine edge and its ease of maintenance. The San Mai construction features soft iron cladding with a blast/mirror Damascus finish that is as functional as it is beautiful. Paired with a premium octagonal ebony handle featuring a stark white spacer, this knife offers exceptional balance and a luxurious feel in the hand.
