Featured in numerous programs and with fans worldwide, his key characteristics include the unique hammered pattern (tsuchime) he personally strikes into the blade, and the overwhelming sharpness provided by the high-grade Super Gold High-Speed Steel. 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. All sheaths are in a \"kiritsuke-gata\" style, meaning the tip of the blade has an angled shape. Additionally, the cross-section is designed with a two-faceted, mountain-like shape to highlight the bright and shaded areas of the Tenmoku finish. Furthermore, small details such as a cord to attach the pin to the sheath have been incorporated to prevent the pin from being lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blade of this product bears Mr. Yu Kurosaki's signature (mei).\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that custom engraving is not available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling \/ Precautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Do not cut or chop bones or frozen foods.
