KOTAI Damascus Petty Knife - Bunka Collection - 135 mm blade
The Best Petty and Utility Knives
The Homura Guren knives are handcrafted by Sakai master blacksmith Itsuo Doi. Using Aogami #2 as core steel, clad in soft iron, the blade was heat-treated to 62-63 HRC for superb edge retention. The beautiful distal tapering and edge geometry ensure a superb cutting performance, and the Kurouchi Tsuchime finish gives this knife a characterful accent. The wa-handle is made of burnt Japanese Oak wood, coated with Urushi. Every knife is engraved with personal seal of Itsuo Doi.
