Tinker knives is a collaborative and experimental effort between sharpener Takayuki Shibata and blacksmith Takumi Ikeda. The blade is forged from high carbon Aogami super steel and cladded in stainless steel.
This Barracuda Honesuki is a hybrid butchery tool that has a curved tip of a traditional breaking knife but tall heel of a honesuki. It has a good stoutness to it but still thins out nicely at the edge. The fit and finish is excellent and comes fitted with an octagonal rosewood and maple ferrule handle.
