From Wikipedia,
Tataki (Japanese たたき: “pounded” or “hit into pieces”),[1] also called tosa-mi,[1] refers to two methods of preparing fish or meat in Japanese cuisine.
Yururi’s third new release this week is the FORGED Tataki Blade which is essentially the 2010 flat back with a plated satin finish, adjusted stamping and hand ground by Master Okamura himself. Click Read More to Carry on…
look at the setup this is as close to perfect as about any blade I have ever seen, slightly long heel to toe with what appears to be a top line in the 3-3.5mm range so it’s a razor blade! The great thing about Yururi irons besides their good looks and wonderful feel and performance is that each head is individually grinded and finished in Japan.
In this new Satin + Grain finish you can still clearly see the grind work since the head has not been plated. The back cavity, the sole and leading edge and trailing edges, the toe area and the heel and neck, you can still see the “raw” grind work. A lot of people seem to like this hand crafted look.
As typical of a blade, the Tataki Satin Blade is esentially the same as the Flat Back 2010 model which has the smallest face area and sweet spot but certainly the most pure feel. As a blade it is aimed at feel and spin control with working the ball and attacking the pin its key strengths. As a muscle back with lofts bordering on the traditional side, trajectory is strong and stable adding to its spin capabilities.
They are Forged in Japan from S25C steel and provide a wonderful feel and look, as a TSG exclusive model hand ground by Okamura-san himself the maximum ouput of this set is three sets per month in 3-PW and 2 sets per month in 4-PW but right now we have them so if your interested the Pro Shop listing is right here: “Click Here”.
