About This Knife

The KATSU FB02 has been highly sought after for its premium materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and timelessly simple design since its release. Due to its size, the FB02 faced restrictions in some regions for purchase and use. However, this did not diminish the demand from fans who craved the FB02.

In response to this enthusiastic demand, KATSU KNIVES, in collaboration with Tomoyuki Nemoto (Sakura Blade Nemoto), significantly reduced the size and weight of the FB02 while preserving its core design and top-tier materials, making it versatile for a wider range of applications. This is the KATSU FB04.

In addition to its smaller size, the KATSU FB04 also features a beautifully hand-polished blade with a subtle mist-like texture in the center, enhancing its artistic value.

The entire blade, from its spine to its edge, boasts elegant and refined lines. Rooted in traditional Eastern aesthetics, the design gives the knife a sleek, elongated appearance. The polished edge gleams with a sharpness that instills fear. A central weight-reduction groove perfectly accentuates the blade's minimalist surface, while the two seamlessly intersecting curves at the tip deliver exceptional piercing performance.

It is, without a doubt, a knife that deserves to be held in your hands to truly appreciate its beauty. Don’t miss out, just order yours today!
