Nenohi Honyaki Dentokougeishi Sakimaru Takobiki with Corian Handle

This is one of our favourites: one of those traditional Japanese knives made by Master blacksmith Yoshikazu Ikeda that has been forging honyaki blades for decades now.

The blade is crafted from white steel Shirogami #1 and it’s a single edge blade which is held by a Corian handle. It comes with an exceptionally hand-painted sheath which was decorated using the ancient Wajima Lacquer method.

The cover of the knife is also decorated with images of cherry blossoms. The Wajima method is used to strengthen the material and make it last longer. This is a perfectly sharp knife that should be in every kitchen worldwide
