Edmundo Luna I've just ordered the Hammered Damascus Togiharu Gyutou - can't wait to try it out when I get back to the US this June! (Ordered a Togiharu Molybdenum Gyutou a couple of years ago - pretty much the best knife in my modest collection.) Thanks for offering such good knives!

Korin - Fine Japanese Tableware and Chef Knives - Uraoshi Sharpening Service(balancing rim of the BACK side of the blade) for Traditional Japanese Style Knives(single edged knives)

We would like offer you our Uraoshi service upon your request when you make your knife purchase. It is a service free of charge when you purchase your knife. To receive this service, please ...add KNIFE-J-URAOSHI from "Related Item" when you purchase on line for any traditional Japanese style knives next to your ordered knives or mention to customer service represenatative when you purchase over the phone or at store.

What is Uraoshi?
Uraoshi is the flat part of the blade that goes around the back side of traditional Japanese style knives(single edged knives).Back of the single edged knife blades in fact are not flat but in the gentle concave shape.

Why you need Uraoshi?
Our Knife Sharpening Master Mr.Chiharu Sugai strongly recommends the Uraoshi sharpening process before the initial use of your traditional Japanese Style knives(such as Yanagi, Takobiki, Deba, Usuba, Kamagata Usuba, Kiritsuke, Funayuki or all other single edged knives).

It is essential because Uraoshi will enhance the blade strength on the edge and make the knife ready for use. It will also align any unevenness of the back side of the blade. Without uraoshi, the knife cannot be sharpened properly and it can cause easy chipping and not reaching its maximum sharpness.

In this process Mr. Sugai will use several different grits of sharpening stones to achieve this method of sharpening. It takes a skilled sharpener to perform this way of sharpening.

**Please note that once we sharpen the knife for you, the knife is not returnable or eligible for an exchange.
