The Senko series is a beautiful collection with a hammered pattern inspired by \"light\" designed on the blade. As a master traditional craftsman, he handcrafts each piece, resulting in a limited and precious production. The handle was developed by Teruyuki Sakamoto of EDIT JAPAN, a Japanese traditional craft producer, in collaboration with Mai Kobo, a group of artisans in Tokushima Prefecture who possess a special \"wood indigo dyeing\" technique. Building on their previous \"Ai Hocho\" knife, which pioneered the combination of indigo dyeing and knives, this collaboration has evolved further. This time, the handles incorporate Tenmoku, a pottery technique, and Kanshitsu, a lacquerware technique, into the indigo dyeing. This results in a unique appearance with an easy-to-grip textured surface and the distinctive look of indigo, which is believed to have antibacterial properties. Please take a look at this one-of-a-kind collaboration knife, combining Mr. Kurosaki's \"Senko\" (flash\/light) and the indigo-dyed \"Tenmoku.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally, Mr. Yu Kurosaki's knives did not come with a sheath, so EDIT JAPAN developed an original sheath for this series.
