Features
- Designed by Mr. Hidetoshi Nakayama(中山英俊), this knife is so petite and exquisite that when its blade is halfway unfolded, it resembles a nimble and graceful kingfisher, irresistibly inviting you to hold it in your hand.
- The blade material is Copper Damascus, giving the entire blade a highly dimensional and unique pattern.
- It features a handle crafted from Timascus material with a mirror-polished finish. The entire handle is adorned with intricate blue and purple patterns. Subtle yet opulent gold accents enhance the handle's overall luxury and distinctiveness.
- The inlays on its handle are sourced from nature white mother of pearl shell, meticulously hand-inlaid and mirror-polished onto the handle. Due to the natural characteristics of the material, the processing is extremely complex, and these inlays make the entire knife sparkle.
- The main pivot screw is crafted from titanium alloy and shaped like cherry blossoms, adding a classical elegance to this piece.
- The traditional lockback design securely locks the blade open for tough cuts and heavy use.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our knives are built to last. Cleaning and caring for your knife will maintain performance and enhance the life of your knife.
Tips for Caring Folding Knives
- Keep your knife dry; that means the entire knife, not just the blade.
- Keep your knife clean, particularly moving parts and locking devices.
- Keep your knife oiled; especially pivot points and the blade. Oil at least twice a year.
- Keep your knife sharp; a sharp blade is safer than a dull one.
- Again, store your knife in a dry place.
Tips for Caring Kitchen Knives
- Always use an appropriate cutting board in the kitchen to get the most out of the sharpness of your knives.
- Cleaning knives after each use will keep them in the best condition and promote food safety.
- Knives require a safe dry storage place, and a knife block is perfect for storing knives.
