Offered: a splendid, sturdy men’s pocket knife from the renowned knife city Sakai, Japan. This impressive model is a true centerpiece for the enthusiast and collector seeking size, uncompromising sharpness, and pure tradition.

Unique Design with Influences from German Mastery
This knife is the result of a unique cross-pollination: it combines the centuries-old Japanese smithing tradition from Sakai with refined, ergonomic design influences from the well-known German knife designer Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig. As a result, this larger model not only looks stunning in a display case, but is also ergonomically perfectly balanced for more intensive use.

Region of Origin: Sakai (Osaka, Japan)
Made in Sakai, the historic capital of Japanese blade-smithing where for more than 600 years masters have perfected their craft.
