Featured in numerous programs and with fans worldwide, his key characteristics are the unique design of his hand-hammered tsuchime pattern on 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 \"light\" motif tsuchime pattern designed on the blade. As a traditional craftsman, each piece is handmade, making these precious blades with limited production. The handle was developed by Akihiko 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 technique called \"indigo dyeing of wood.\" Building on the \"Ai Houchou\" (indigo knife) collaboration, which was a fusion of knives and indigo dyeing, this series further evolves the concept by incorporating \"tenmoku,\" a pottery technique, and \"kanshitsu,\" a lacquerware technique, into the indigo dyeing. It features a comfortable grip due to the uneven surface and a unique appearance from the indigo, which is said to have antibacterial properties. Please enjoy this one-of-a-kind collaboration knife, combining Kurosaki-san's \"Senko\" and the \"Tenmoku\" of indigo dyeing.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Saya (Sheath)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally, Mr. Yu Kurosaki's knives did not come with a saya, so Edit Japan developed an original saya for this series. All sayas are unified in a \"kiritsukegata\" shape, which has an angled tip. Furthermore, by making the cross-section a mountain-like two-sided shape, the design highlights the bright and shadowed parts of the tenmoku pattern. We have also added a feature that allows the saya and the pin to be tied together with a string, to prevent the pin from getting lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blade of this product is engraved with Mr. Yu Kurosaki's signature (mei).\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that personalization is not available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling \/ Precautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Do not cut or strike bones or frozen foods.
