Nakagawa Satoshi Forged – Kirameki Blue Steel #1 Suminagashi Kiritsuke Yanagiba Knife with Saya

<h3>Kiritsuke Type (K-tip)</h3><p>It can be used for detailed work with its sharp cutting edge.</p><h3>Sumi-nagashi</h3><p>Sumi-nagashi knives (Damascus knives) are made by folding and forging layers of base iron and steel (Blue Steel No.1) over the base metal part. The sharpening is done at an angle to the blade edge, so the base metal part is dull and the steel part is shiny, and ripples like Sumi-nagashi (Japanese style hand marbling) patterns appear on the surface.<br/>Furthermore, This pattern goes deep into the base metal, so the more it is sharpened, the more a different pattern will appear. <br/>This is a good choice for use at a counter or in public.</p>
