Kirameki Blue Steel #1 Wa-Santoku Knife with Kuroro Urushi Lacquered Handle

Superb Sharp Japanese Knife with luxurious lacquer coating handle

This is a masterpiece of combination between two different Japanese traditional skills proudly presented: knife making and lacquering. It is not just used as a tool, but gives special satisfaction to both the user and the viewer.

• Blade: Blue Steel No.1; Sharp and high edge retention. Recommended for people who spend long hours using knives in the kitchen.
• Montanren: The wavy pattern on the back side of the blade, where the boundary between soft iron and steel is wavy like the blade pattern of a Japanese sword. This requires a high level of skill, and there are only a limited number of craftsmen in Sakai who are able to do this.
• Handle: Kuroro Urushi Lacquered Handle
