Sanmai Sakimaru
This double-bevel Sakimaru-style knife is crafted from a san-mai billet forged using an old file for the hard core and a concrete screw for the outer layers. The blade was tempered at 180 °C, giving it an approximate hardness of ~60 -62 HRC while maintaining resilience and a keen cutting edge. The handle combines steamed acacia with olive wood, offering a warm, natural feel with excellent durability. Each knife is delivered in a plywood box suitable for both shipping and long-term storage.
