Original groove marks on the blade the knife a distinct look and feel. Deep black linen micarta handle is buffed to perfection and sports a smooth flowing shape that feels great in the hand. Ergonomic and functionally combined exquisitely into a single knife. FORGED BLADE PERFORMANCE The ideal table /steak knife blade is made from forged stainless steel that holds it edge long and is easy to sharpen with simple maintenance. The KIKUSUMI X MOKI table knife has those qualities in spades. Few steak knives are forged one by one as this one is - the advantages mirror those of chef knives. High quality artisan forging is superior to rolled steel types. It is not enough to say Japanese steel or Japanese method. The artisan and their methods matter - forged, finished and assembled completely in-house in Seki Japan. Here we deliver one of the very best steak knives available today. SUPER SMOOTH BLACK MICARTA HANDLE Few knife makers can match the buttery smooth finish of this knife. Months of polishing and buffing give it both perfect grip and smoothness. Micarta is regarded as one of the best handle materials for the combination of beauty & durability. Minimalist black, polished, refined and powerful to hold. TSUCHIME KNIFE HOLDER (Optional) High Polish Tsuchime (hammered) finished stainless steel holder provides an elegant table presentation for the steak knife. Tsuchime is a unique finishing method that has been mastered by Japanese artisans over centuries. Kikusumi has specially selected this holder from our Niigata artisan to match the steak knife aesthetics. Its flat surface allows for the knife to be set flat or on its edge. Each knife gift set comes with 1 high polished tsuchime block holder for the knife. To clean just wash and dry. Stainless steel provides rust resistance. These are beautiful to the eye and provides a subtle contrast for the smooth polished steak knife blade. It is an impressive table display for your guests at your dinner table. DURABILITY Micarta is very strong and very sturdy. They stand up against many elements and actually feel like they have better grip while wet. These are great for hunting and fishing knives as well. The only drawback is that you do have to keep your micarta handle oiled to keep it in best condition. MAINTENANCE Stainless steel is easy to maintain - just hand wash and dry. AUS8 steel blades are best sharpened on a Japanese whetstone. Roller whetstones are recommended for those who prefer easy sharpening with guided angles.
