Yoshikazu Ikeda White #1 Mizu Honyaki Kiritsuke 220mm
A White #1 carbon-steel kiritsuke by Yoshikazu Ikeda, combining a flowing hamon with a distinctive angled tip. The measured 200 mm cutting edge and 48.5 mm heel height offer a compact working length for controlled slicing and precise kitchen preparation.
Mizu honyaki construction uses a single piece of steel, differentially hardened and quenched in water. The visible hamon reflects this hardening process and gives each blade its own character.

The 220 mm designation refers to the total blade length; the measured cutting edge is 200 mm. Measurements are approximate. The overall length and weight above refer to the Prisma-handled knife. For the blade-only option, finished dimensions and weight depend on the handle fitted. Hamon and appearance may vary between individual blades.
Care
White #1 is reactive carbon steel and will develop a patina with use. Hand wash, wipe the blade during preparation and dry thoroughly after use. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Apply a light coat of food-safe blade oil before extended storage. Use a wooden or suitable synthetic cutting board; avoid bones, frozen food, twisting and prying. Maintain the edge with appropriate whetstones.
