Izumi Ichiago - Table knife - Imbuia Damascus pocket...

Izumi Ichiago 'Imbuia' Damascus Pocket Knife – Authentic Masterpiece from Sakai, Japan with unique Mokume fittings (as seen on Samuraizwaarden by Denbei Shoami) An exclusive, classically shaped gentlemen's pocket knife from the well-known brand Izumi Ichiago. This knife combines traditional Japanese forging techniques with a unique design and high-quality materials. A special collectible for the enthusiast. Forging: 49-Layer Damascus & VG-10 Core The blade is built around a core of the legendary Japanese VG-10 steel. This steel is renowned for its extreme hardness and the fact that it stays razor-sharp for a very long time. This hard core is protected and supported by no fewer than 49 layers of beautifully folded Damascus steel, with stainless steel sides to prevent rust. Exclusive Mokume Design (as on Samuraizwaarden of Denbei Shoami) The metal jaws (the part between the blade and the handle) are made with the rare Mokume technique. This traditional Japanese method was invented in the 17th century by master smith Denbei Shoami. Originally developed to decorate the impact plates and grips of Samuraizwaarden. By fusing several layers of metal under extreme heat and pressure, a stunning pattern emerges that closely resembles natural wood grain. Each knife thus acquires a completely unique appearance. Design with German Mastery This knife is the result of a unique crossbreeding: it combines the centuries-old Japanese forging tradition from Sakai with refined ergonomic design influences from the renowned German knife designer Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig. Thus tradition and modern usability harmonize beautifully. Handle of Luxury Imbuia Wood The pocket knife is built on a sturdy base of solid brass. The handle scales are made from the finest Imbuia wood. This luxurious wood has a deep, warm color and a fine grain that pairs beautifully with the gold-toned wood grain design on the metal jaws. Region of Origin: Sakai / Izumi (Osaka, Japan) This pocket knife comes from the Sakai region (historically Izumi). This Japanese region is world-famous and has supplied the highest quality handmade knives and swords for more than 600 years. Craftsmanship from this region is known for extreme precision and long-lasting durability. - Brand: Izumi Ichiago - Model: Imbuia Damascus Pocket Knife - Condition: Brand new and unused - Origin: Japan (Region: Sakai/Izumi) - Blade material: Japanese VG-10 Damascus steel (49 layers) - Bolster material: Mokume-gane (multi-layer metal with wood grain pattern, in the style of samuraizwaarden by Denbei Shoami) - Handle material: Imbuia wood on brass plates Delivered in a leather belt case.
