Traditional Japanese Hunter

with Faux Croc Leather Covered Handle

Japanese knifemaker Takeshi Saji makes knives using the very best materials. The White Steel center core of this 6" blade, which provides the cutting edge, is a pure carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness above 60. Each side consists of 11 layer Suminagashi, the Japanese equivalent of Damasteel. This is high-carbon tool steel and must be protected against rust. We have included a bottle of RustFree for that purpose.

The 4-1/4" handle is carved from a very dense and very hard wood and then wrapped with faux croc leather. The single guard is steel. The knife measures 10-1/4" tip to butt and weighs 9.8 oz. Signed in Japanese by the maker on the reverse side of the blade. Includes a simple leather pouch style sheath. Handmade in Japan.
