Saji Rainbow Hocho, Sujihiki (Fish and Meat Knife)

Description

Takeshi Saji is one of the most famous master blacksmiths from Takefu Knife Village. This high-contrast blade made of 11 layers of Suminagashi steel possesses a cutting core made of Blue Paper Steel, which is known for its sharpness and ability to hold an edge. For the outer layers, the smith uses a combination of copper, brass, and stainless steel to create a fascinating blade pattern. The handle scales made from black linen micarta are mounted on the single-piece blade and dimensioned to be comfortable even for European hands. Micarta is created using a special high-pressure process that combines linen with epoxy resin. This material is practically indestructible and resistant to acids and oils. The handle is both anti-slip and comfortable to hold - even in cold, wet conditions. A mosaic pin and two stainless steel pins round off its perfect appearance. Flanges of polished stainless steel form the transition to the blade. Not rustproof, double-bevelled, hardness 64 HRC. Comes in a kiri wood case.
Takefu Knife Village
Takefu Knife Village is a smithy cooperative that has upheld the tradition of sophisticated metalworking for almost 700 years. A small group of extremely skilled master smiths forge limited series of superb knives in their smithies located in the tiny village in Fukui Province. They craft their products by hand to create one-of-a-kind Japanese kitchen knives made only of the best materials.
