Hand-Sharpened Blade: Each knife is hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. Pursuit of Sharpness: The blade is made of stainless steel, maximizing the "pull-cut" effect for smooth, non-crushing cuts. Inspired by the Famous Sword "Mutsu-no-kami Yoshiyuki" This knife replicates the beloved sword that Sakamoto Ryoma cherished throughout his life, and which he is said to have carried with him when he was assassinated. Blade Pattern (Gunome Hamon): The blade features a realistically reproduced "Gunome Hamon," a beautiful, regular wave pattern, giving it aesthetic appeal as a decorative piece. Handle Design: The black handle, inspired by the "tsuka" (hilt) of a sword, combines ease of grip with the dignified style of a Japanese sword. Designed for Outdoor Use This knife belongs to the "Small Santoku (Mini Santoku)" category, and its biggest feature is that it's smaller than a typical knife. Compactness: With a total length of 250mm, it easily fits into the gaps of a camping kitchen bag or backpack, making it stress-free to carry. Safe Sheath: It comes with a dedicated sheath that snaps securely into place, so there's no need to wrap it in a towel, and you can carry it safely. Blade 14*3cm Total 25cm Total 225g (K0684)
