Blade only. Nojiyama Marunaka Taso-ko ('damascus') multilayer steel. 170mm edge. 310mm overall length.

A hand-forged full-tang blade with no handle.

Of course the maker supplies a handle for his local Japanese customers and we can arrange one for you if you wish. No problem if you want to supply your own timber.

That said, the idea behind this offer is that wherever you are in the world, you can choose a local or exotic timber to create a unique handle for your knife, by yourself. No instructions supplied, we expect you to know what you're doing.
