Ishizuchi Gyuto
The polished ZDP-189 gyuto is a different expression of the Ishizuchi name from its rustic Blue #2 knives. A plain satin-looking face and rosewood handle give it a restrained appearance. Your report of thickness behind the edge makes its cutting geometry worth examining separately from the steel.
