The magnificent patterns created by Kurosaki san on this knife are paired with one of the most amazing custom handles we've seen to date - made by @letshandlethis, the brown mallee burl featuring a trustone and black g10 spacer collar has an amazing dark honeycomb resin body that glows in the dark*
We do however recommend cooking with the lights on!

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by the manufacturer and should therefore be used as a guide.
