(Sakai cutlery) A combination of blades created by traditional craftsman Satoshi Nakagawa, handles manufactured by Yamaken Woodworks in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture. The blade is made of "Ginsanko," a stainless steel material that is resistant to rust, and the handle is made of either Rosewood or Ebony, both one of the three most precious types of wood imported from the Tang dynasty. It has excellent durability, and its octagonal shape makes it non-slip and easy to grip.
