This is the "Itadaki" series, an original premium brand from Miura Knife Shop, created by Sakai's master craftsman and traditional artisan, Yoshikazu Tanaka.
The blade is forged from white steel, giving it a tough yet hard character, and the thin edge gives it an extremely sharp cutting edge and makes it easy to resharpen.
This is an excellent product that is recommended not only for professional use, but also as an introduction to serious cutting knives.
