Single Edged – Suminagashi Blue Steel

Suminagashi knives are forged from many layers of steel folded around a hard core, creating a flowing Damascus pattern that resembles ink on water. These blades use a core of Blue Steel #1, a high-carbon steel known for its excellent sharpness and long edge life.

Each pattern is unique, and the layered jacket adds support to the hard core. This collection includes yanagi, sakimaru takobiki, deba and kiritsuke, plus mirror-finished Mizu Yaki pieces, with ebony, yew and rosewood handles. These are knives to use every day and to admire between services.
