Miyako SUS Damascus kitchen knife.

Developed to embody the essential functions and beauty of knives. Damascus steel, highly valued for its beauty in medieval Syria,has been reproduced for use in the blade, while a matte finish is applied once more after mirror polishing to achieve a soft luster.
The blade is carefully formed using the artisanal techniques of the famed blacksmiths of Seki in order to attain a truly vivid sharpness.
The design of the handle achieves a unique style that fits extremely snugly and comfortably in your hand with a finely crafted rounded shape.
