Shibata Koutetsu 210 Gyuto R-2 core steel.
Bought during a knife show that included the maker, so there is a bit of sentiment involved. He signed the inside of the box--check the images!
It is a remarkable laser, but I find I don't reach first for lasers. It should absolutely go to a home where it will be lovingly used! I have used it no more than 3 times, very lightly--just to sample the knife. It has the original edge. Really, a beautifully performing knife.
