Nigara Hamono x Myojin Naohito Rainbow Damascus Santoku
Currently out of stock (When is it back?) (0)
An utterly spectacular tall santoku from Nigara Hamono's famous Blue #2 Rainbow Damascus line, this is a work of art made to the highest standards and sharpened by Myjoin Naohito.
We've paired this magnificent blade with an equally stunning stabilised one of a kind 3 ring spacer handle. This knife is a collectors dream and it's not often we see stock of this line.
