Precision in polishing
The blades are hand-crafted to a mirror polish with a 15° angle on both sides using the 3-step Honbazuke method, before they undergo a cryogenic treatment to enhance hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.

Tradition meets innovation
The full-tang, triple-riveted Rosewood handle benefits from a traditional Japanese stabilization process, significantly enhancing its resilience to extreme temperatures and dampness.
