Recommended Posts

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.

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

Similar to a plated iron, somewhat like Zodia irons do which do handle well.

It doesn't say yururi anywhere on the head?

Nope just Tataki logo & Forged.

These look great, I am a huge fan of satin plating and the raw look just makes it that much better! I wish the Forged stamping was less pronounced and the stamping might have been a little more simple (imagine no stamping but Yururi on the muscle instead of the Forged stamp) :) Drool...

I think with that stamping people would have claimed they were nothing more than satin Flatbacks (which they kind of are).

I agree, the original Yururi kanji and the Tataki branding to set it apart from the originals would have suited my eye the best. That being said these still look stellar and I'm thinking they will look pretty damn good after some good wear. Someone get these and give us a review please!

Indeed these are simply a cool new finish with a different stamping.

So how much is it?

1250 3-PW and there is a 20% coupon going on right now

off set is the same as the older models?

Yes identical

They look very slick but agro at the same time.

Hope some cavity's will be on the way.

Yururi has quite a few great CB's already.

Yep the MH-1112 are the ones I have been eyeing up, they look amazing.

Anyone have any experience with those???
