Izumi Ichiago - Table knife - Izumi Ichiago Red Hawk...

Izumi Ichiago 'Red Hawk' Damascus Zakmes – Masterful Japanese Craftsmanship with 71 Layers of Damascus and Wisteria Wood Offered: a splendid, high-end gentlemen's pocket knife from the renowned cutlery city of Sakai, Japan. The 'Red Hawk' from Izumi Ichiago is a true showpiece for the enthusiast and collector who values uncompromising sharpness, aesthetics and tradition. Forging: 71 Layers of Damascus & VG-10 Core The impressive blade is built around a core of premium Japanese VG-10 steel, globally acclaimed for its extreme hardness and long edge retention. This core is protected by no less than 71 layers of Damascus steel, creating an breathtaking, flowing pattern on the blade. Durability and precision come together in the most beautiful way. Unique Design with Influences from German Craftsmanship This knife results from a unique cross-pollination: it combines the centuries-old Japanese smithing tradition from Sakai with refined ergonomic design influences from the renowned German knife designer Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig. Hence the knife not only sits beautifully in a display case, but is also ergonomically perfectly balanced for daily use. Handle Made of Exclusive Wisteria Wood The handle features stunning inlays of Wisteria wood. This wood is known for its unique warm grain and fine figure. Coupled with the sleek, polished stainless steel bolsters, this gives the knife an extremely elegant and luxurious appearance. Region of Origin: Sakai (Osaka, Japan) Made in Sakai, the historic capital of Japanese blade smithing where for more than 600 years master smiths have perfected their craft.
