Izumi Ichiago 'Red Hawk' Damascus Pocket Knife – Masterful Japanese Craftsmanship with 71 Layers of Damascus and Wisteria Wood Offered: a splendid, high-end gentlemen's pocket knife from the renowned knife-making city Sakai, Japan. Izumi Ichiago's 'Red Hawk' is an absolute showpiece for the enthusiast and collector who values uncompromising sharpness, aesthetics, and tradition. Forging: 71 Layers of Damascus & VG-10 Core The impressive blade is built around a core of high-quality Japanese VG-10 steel, globally acclaimed for its extreme hardness and long-lasting sharpness. This core is protected by no fewer than 71 Damascus layers, creating a breathtaking, flowing pattern on the blade. Durability and precision come together here in the most beautiful way. Unique Design Influenced by German Craftsmanship This knife results from a unique cross-pollination: it combines the centuries-old Japanese smithing tradition from Sakai with refined, ergonomic design influences from the well-known German knife designer Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig. As a result, the knife not only looks stunning in the display case but is also ergonomically perfectly balanced for daily use. Handle made of Exclusive Wisteria Wood The handle features stunning inlays of Wisteria (japanese: fuji) wood. This wood is known for its distinctive, warm grain and fine pattern. Paired with the sleek, polished stainless steel bolsters, it gives the knife an extremely elegant and luxurious appearance. Region of Origin: Sakai (Osaka, Japan) Made in Sakai, the historic capital of Japanese blade-smithing where for more than 600 years masters have perfected their craft.
