Something a little different from Jonas Johnsson this time. A little while back we managed to import some Aogami #2 steel from Japan, which we immediately knew to send to Jonas. Aogami #2 is a great steel for Honyaki blades and so who is better suited than Jonas Johnsson, Europe’s preeminent Honyaki master.
The results are in, and this is one classy looking blade with incredible geometry to match. A thin laser geometry with a profile reminiscent of the Yoshikane SKD Gyuto. Walkschliff ground, this blade is going to feel like the Yoshikane on the board, but perform much better.
A unique integral bolster with an ergonomic dimple, which transitions into the handle. The knife feels amazing in the hand, nimble, well balanced, just a very fine piece of work. The handle is made from a beautifully figured piece of Macassar ebony, which features an amazing array of red and brown hues.
Jonas has an amazing sense for the aesthetics, allowing this clean, highly polished blade to sit simply next to the stunning Macassar ebony. Nothing complicated, just a beautifully forged Honyaki blade with a stunning mirror polish and an incredible piece of timber. Both pieces treated as they should be and allowed to shine. A timeless piece, beautiful!
