Where this sits
Manufactured in South Korea.
The Akiko ASAM-N uses Hitachi 440C steel — a high-carbon stainless alloy consistent across the Akiko range — ground to a slim, narrow convex profile. The narrower blade geometry reduces the visual bulk through the cut and suits point cutting and fine detail work where a standard-width blade can obscure the cutting line.
The bent thumb handle positions the thumb at an angle relative to the finger ring, reducing wrist rotation through repetitive cutting motions. A non-detachable finger rest provides a stable third contact point without the risk of a removable rest catching in hair. Made in South Korea in 5.5” and 6.0” lengths.

Professional Opinion
A slim, narrow convex blade in Hitachi 440C steel is the recipe here, aimed at precision work like point cutting and texturising. The bent thumb handle welcomes the grip, and the finger rest stays fixed where you set it.
