Just as samurai in the Heian and Kamakura periods went into battle carrying swords, we hope that craftsmen will use these in their own fields of work.
The high-end brand series from Miura Cutlery Store is "Obidama."
The blade is made by Nakagawa Satoshi of Nakagawa Cutlery in Sakai, Osaka, who is skilled in working with materials ranging from white, blue, and stainless steel.
Specifications: Each knife is handmade, so the size, weight, and blade finish may vary.
