Sakura Damascus
Sakura series knives are constructed of Hitachi Ao-Gami steel (Blue 2), with the exception of the Debas, which are Shiro-Gami (White 2). The jacketing is damascus forge welded steel to create beautiful patterning. Handle material is red sandalwood with an ebony wood ferrule. Sakura translates to cherry blossoms which in the Japanese Tradition are respected and prized for their beauty and elegance. It is for this reason that the craftsman chose this name for the Minonokuni Damascus Traditional Japanese knife line.
