MOKUREI / KITCHEN KNIFE
Gabon Ebony
& Chakte Kok.
A 150 mm Kiritsuke Bunka with a VG-10 Damascus blade and tsuchime (hammered finish). The handle combines selected materials in an individual composition. Near-black Gabon ebony forms the body of the handle. A vivid red Chakte Kok section at the blade end is separated by a thin brass spacer: a sharp, controlled chromatic contrast.
