Saji Rainbow Hocho, 2-Piece Set

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.
