Seki Blue Clouds Blue #2 Kiritsuke 190mm

The Seki Blue Clouds series features a Stainless Steel Nashiji Cladding with a Carbon Steel Blue Steel No.2 core and a beautiful, wavy forge weld line. This is a highly practical way of producing carbon steel kitchen knives as only a small amount of carbon steel is exposed to air and water which minimizes rust and reduces maintenance. Furthermore, after the carbon steel develops a patina, it will form a black wavy line at the edge of the knife which enhances its aesthetics while making it almost rust-proof.

The Polished, Vivid Blue Pakka Wood Handle Scales beautifully match the Nashij textured, Blue Steel No.2 Kiritsuke blade. These kitchen knives also feature a full-tang construction, a forged stainless steel bolster and stainless steel handle rivets.
