In Stock Item: 210mm "VillageForge-series" Honesuki with Artist-series handle

$ 1,360.00

Our "VillageForge" design-series is a unique combination of point-hammer marks blending half-way down the blade to a series of beautiful damascus patterning with a matte finish. The effect, in bright lighting, is of shimmering steel alongside striking damascus wavy lines.

The 210mm honesuki blade was an original Salter Fine Cutlery design and has been hand-forged for us in Japan by a very talented traditional bladesmith to our specifications. Each blade is individually made by hand. When it reaches our workshop in Hawaii, each handle is individually handcrafted to fit that blade only.
