This 150mm Honesuki Kaku is pretty special. Kogetsu is a collaboration between father and son, making these blades from scratch. Their approach is to seek absolute functionallity and each knife is carefully made with that goal. The result is unique knives as with a rustic touch, each blade and handle having individual characteristics. I don't get many knives from Kogetsu so they don't tend to hang around long.
