Professional Opinion
The popular Type K, mirrored properly for left-handed cutting rather than merely flipped. Blade geometry and offset handle are true left-hand builds in cobalt alloy, so precision work feels natural from the first cut. Available in 5.5 and 6.0 inches, handcrafted in Chiba.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Mizutani convex edges
