The word "SAKURA" means cherry tree in Japanese. The cherry tree has been loved by Japanese people for a long time. The knife handle is made from Oak wood wrapped with beautiful Cherry tree skin with a black metal hilt. The blade is made from 15 layers of Japanese Blue Steel damascus. In spring, the SAKURA comes out in full bloom after a very cold winter. It means this knife is very beautiful and strong just like the SAKURA . If you take this knife, you can feel Japanese spirit. The knife also includes a Japanese traditional-style wooden scabbard sheath with leather belt loop. Blue Steel: Called "Aogami" in Japan, is made by adding chromium and tungsten to white steel making it more durable with greater edge retention.
These knives make a great collectible piece or an everyday work knife. Includes presentation box.
