This was an already very impressive and popular blade and we've elevated it further by pairing it with a completely one off handcrafted handle made from black maple burl with smokey black resin, Gold Coast acrylic ferrule using red and black G10 rings from UK craftsman @letshandlethis.
If you're looking for something truly unique then look no further!

Our aim is to measure and photograph all our products as accurately as possible but due to the handmade nature of many items, please be aware that there may be some variance in the measurements and that things such as blade and knife handle patterns can vary and presentation boxes may differ from those shown but we will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by the manufacturer and should therefore be used as a guide.
Compatable saya or guard
We recommend protecting your blade with a gyuto sized guard or storing it on a block or magnetic rack to show it off!
