The knife has an 8-layer laminated steel blade and a case in paulownia wood.
With use, the brass handle may corrode.
This knife was hand forged, and each one has a different motif on the blade.
This is why the name of the prior fourth master blacksmith, "Motosuke" and that of "Take-tora" are both engraved on the back of the handle.
