Takeshi Saji Urushi & Makie Series "Mt. Fuji Motif" R-2 Custom Diamond Damascus STU-41 Santoku 180mm (7')
Master Takeshi Saji has been inspired to create a Mt. Fuji themed knife that is beautifully decorated with Urushi (Lacquer) and Maki-e (Japanese lacquerware picture / artwork made with powdered metals). Echizen City (Also known as Takefu City) is a historical Japanese knife making centre that is famous for producing Echizen Uchihamono (Traditional hammer-forged knives) and, even today, there are still a number of passionate forge smiths who continue to produce knives using the old, time-honoured methods. Japanese lacquerware Master, Mr. Tsukada, used all of his experience and skill toĀ create aĀ beautiful scene of a Mount Fuji and cranes (A traditional Japanese motif that symbolizesĀ peace, luck andĀ longevity).Ā So, you can now enjoy this impressiveĀ Maki-e artwork and Master Sajiās wild and beautiful R-2 Custom Diamond Damascus knife at the same time!
In order to match the very impressive and deep-impact ofĀ Maki-e artwork, Master Saji has created -2 Powdered Metallurgy High Speed Tool Steel Custom Damascus bade that has a unique ārandom patternā Damascus that Master Saji calls āDiamond Damascusā. It is handcrafted using a complex series of forging processes and a specially formulated acid etching and polishing that, in combination, produce a unique Damascus blade that has a sparkling diamond pattern and an uneven surface texture. You can sense Master Sajiās vitality and powerful spirit is present inside the blade.Ā Each blade has a traditional Hamaguri-ba (Convex) grind, a hidden blade tang, a brass bolster & butt, and a handle that has been painted with black Urushi lacquer (Waterproof).
In addition to the decorative Urushi and Maki-e Saya (Sheath/scabbard), each knife also comes with a traditionalĀ Nishijin-oriĀ woven cloth pouch and braided tassel (Nishijin-ori textiles use a traditional Japanese weaving technique that was invented by weavers who settled in the Nishijin district of KamigyÅ-ku ward, KyÅtÅ).
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence itās name, which literally means āThree-purposeā. The SantokuĀ is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.
