Tamahagane Yanagiba Messer und Schleifstein

First to actually own one of these is an honor. This is a handmade tamahagane knife made by certified swordsmiths. Using traditional, black sand tamahagane bloom (jewel) steel. The steel is made annually in a ceremony that last three days. In the end, they have Japanese samurai jewel steel. It is how it has been done for 1000 years. You can learn more about this if you study about Tamahagane steel. Eighth generation swordsmiths from the Edo period. As I said I am honored to have it. And I personally thank the brothers and their son for making it for me. If you have an opportunity to get one do so. Support them. This handmade samurai steel tamahagane knife is very Special. And the people that are making it are very special as well. I highly recommend you get one while you can. Thank you SHIROU KUNIMITSU BLACKSMITH

The knife is beautiful. The etched Japanese characters are a great touch. It's well balanced and extremely sharp. I love using this knife.

Great service

Excellent knife! Just what I wanted thanks
It’s like having a small samurai sword made the same way with the same materials.
You can see the hada where it has been folded!
Love it!
Thanks.
