We paired it with a handle that immediately caught our eye—a polished dark buffalo horn ferrule with deep green stabilized wood. The rich green tones blend beautifully with the blade's dark kurouchi finish and exposed Damascus, creating an elegant, refined look that feels perfectly matched.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt its core is premium SLD semi-stainless steel. It sits right between carbon and stainless in feel—offering exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and far easier maintenance than most high-hardness carbon steels. It's a steel that performs at a very high level without demanding constant attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat truly sets this blade apart is the execution of its finish. The primary bevel features a finely blasted migaki finish that contrasts beautifully with the dark kurouchi upper section. As the finishes transition, intricate Damascus layers emerge along the top of the bevel, creating a striking visual effect that immediately draws attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe spine is equally impressive. Exposed Damascus extends toward the tip, revealing the layered construction in a way that is rarely seen—and even more rarely executed with this level of precision. It showcases the craftsmanship behind the blade while adding another distinctive visual element that collectors will appreciate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kiritsuke profile ties everything together. Long, purposeful, and exceptionally versatile, it offers outstanding push-cutting performance while its aggressive K-tip excels at precision work. \u003cem\u003e*For precision information, it's listed by Nigara as a 240mm, the blade's pronounced curvature gives it an effective cutting edge that measures closer to 230mm from heel to tip at the bottom without measuring the curve.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo complete this one-of-a-kind piece, we assembled the blade in our workshop onto its custom handle, carefully chosen to complement its character.
