Bringing traditional Japanese style into the modern era, this knife combines ease of use with a modern aesthetic in a beautifully shaped design.

Inspired by the traditional octagonal handle of Japanese knives, this handle has been tweaked to be more ergonomic, with a twist towards the blade and a rounded shape. This design allows the fingers to comfortably align with the handle's lines. The blade is made of Damascus steel with a beautiful ripple pattern. The core material, VG10, is chosen for its excellent sharpness and durability. The water-resistant laminated reinforced wood handle, combined with the Damascus steel's ripple pattern, creates a modern impression.

In the world of knives, Damascus steel is famous for its wood-grain-like patterns and is highly sought after, often leading to stock shortages. This steel is made by layering thin sheets of steel, creating the wood-grain pattern when forged. Originally developed in ancient India, contemporary Damascus steel knives are often finished or patterned to mimic this traditional steel. Most of these steels are produced by steel manufacturers, with some forges also creating similar patterns. Knife manufacturers might use terms like "Damascus finish," "Suminagashi," "forged surface," or "laminated steel," but essentially, these are all part of the same category.
