Elegant Izumi Ichiago 'Tsuchime 100' Hunting Knife - Japan's VG-10 Damascus Steel & Carbon Fiber

Description:
What is offered is an elegant hunting knife of absolute collector quality: the Izumi Ichiago Tsuchime 100. This knife embodies a masterful synthesis between a functional, ergonomic design, ultra-modern materials, and legendary Japanese forging art.

Region of Origin: Sakai / Izumi (Osaka, Japan).
This hunting knife is handmade in the Sakai region (historical Izumi) in Japan. This region is world-renowned and has delivered the very highest quality in handmade blades and swords for more than 600 years. Craftsmanship from this region is known for extreme precision and long durability.

Unique German-Japanese Collaboration.
This knife is the result of a unique cross-pollination: it combines the centuries-old Japanese forging tradition from Sakai with refined, ergonomic design influences from the well-known German knife designer Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig. As a result, tradition and modern ease of use complement each other beautifully.

Blade of top quality with beautiful layered Damascus.
The blade’s cutting core consists of Japanese VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel, commonly regarded as one of the best knife steels in the world. This core is vacuum-hardened to an impressive hardness of HRC-59, which ensures exceptional and long-lasting sharpness. The core is flanked on both sides by 70 stainless steel outer layers of damascus steel, bringing the total to 71 layers of Damascus steel. The blade is finely polished, making the wavy Damascus pattern stand out beautifully and exclusively.

Exclusive and indestructible handle.
The ergonomic handle is made from high-quality carbon fiber. This high-tech material is extremely light, virtually indestructible, and is typically used in aerospace and motorsport. The sturdy bolsters are made of high-quality stainless steel, which ensures perfect balance in the hand and optimum safety during use.
