This knife is made by craftsman Katayama Yuta, who has gained experience in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, a famous cutlery production area, and who works on everything from traditional cutlery to unique designs.
The core material of the forged blade is VG10, which has an established reputation as a high-quality blade steel, and the skin steel is made of Damascus steel, which contains nickel, which makes the pattern stand out more beautifully.
This, combined with a sharp clam blade and an uneven corroded finish, gives it the ability to cut and separate easily, while also being visually beautiful.
Specifications: Each knife is handmade, so the size, weight, and blade finish may vary.
