Forged Katai - Carving knife (carving knife)

When designing the Katai knives, wave-like shapes were used as a source of inspiration. This can be seen in the shape of the blade and how the shape then continues into the handle. The blade is completely hand-forged in 5 layers of Japanese VG10 steel. The hammer blow on the blade is basically the same as the other series. However, it has undergone additional post-processing using a very fine hammer. This method of processing is a lot more intensive, but results in a refined look with a completely unique appearance. The handle is in turn made of root wood. The wood is first filled with resin, then pressed and then modeled. This process makes each knife unique in finish, size, color and wood structure.
