315mm Wa Honyaki Sword-Style Sujihiki

315 x 34mm (12.4 x 1.3") sujihiki with a Mexican Rosewood and Spalted MD maple handle. Comes with a friction fit charred oak saya. 

125Cr1 carbon steel blade. Blade is honyaki or differentially hardened, where a clay is applied to the spine of the blade, and only the edge is hardened. This produces a hamon, which is the ghostly line where the hardened and unhardened steels meet. 

Are you looking for a comically long slicer for large peices of protein? Do you like to have very cool knives in your house to impress your friends and family? Do you have a need to have a katana but also need to slice things in your kitchen? This is the knife for you!

Weight: 9oz, 14.2oz with saya.
