Japanese Straight Razor (Wa-kamisori)

The Wa-kamisori, Japanese straight razor, is a perfect example of the Japanese aesthetic. This razor was produced in the workshop of bladesmith Shigeyoshi Iwasaki (b. 1933), in cooperation with his apprentice Ryoichi Mizuochi. Shigeyoshi-san is the son of renowned metallurgist and sword researcher, Hiroshi Iwasaki, who is well respected as a leading authority on traditional forging techniques. Shigeyoshi Iwasaki is considered by many to be the greatest straight razor maker of all time. His work is quite simply beyond compare.
Made of the finest carbon steel and fire-forged with Rentetsu iron (wrought iron), the blade is polished with natural sharpening stones. The blade bear's Iwasake's mark on the back of the blade.
These razors are a source of great pleasure for collectors and users alike. Delivered in a beautiful kiri-wood case.

Rust Eraser (320 grit)

19" X 5" Case with Zipper, Burgundy, Cordura

Knife cases by The Blade Case are made by hand in Seattle, WA. Each case is constructed only with raw materials which have been made in the USA. Extra-heavy bonded nylon thread results in strength and longevity. All closures are made by YKK Zipper Co, the leader in closure technology. Zippers are self-repairing. Not all Cordura is alike. The Cordura used on these cases is 1000 denier DuPont Cordura. This strong fabric has excellent color and body. It repels water and does not absorb water vapor. The lining material is a synthetic shearling made by Polartec, providing both padding and insulation. No foam or other moisture-retaining materials are used. Different thicknesses of padding are used so that the case will perfectly hold your knife safely, securely, and with no or little movement.
Material: 1000 denier Cordura

Chef Steps Ceramic Rod and Cleaner

This set has everything you need to properly take care of your knives.
Ceramic rods provide the best touch up possible between sharpening. By removing very little material, the blade is honed to a razor edge. Fine ceramic rods will hone a knife to the most optimal edge. However, if a considerable time has passed since honing or sharpening, a coarse rod is often required. Generally, a ceramic rod should be approximately the length of the longest knife that you will be honing. This set comes with a 12 inch fine ceramic rod.
Over time, ceramic rods build up metal particles that clog the abrasive surface. The Superaser cleans the surface of all ceramic rods so that they will continue to hone just like they did when they were new.

Native - BG Exclusive - with Maple and Falcon Tribal Marking

Mastersmith Daniel Winkler created the Winkler II line in 2010. It is an alternate approach to an established tradition. Winkler Knives II is the result of processes Daniel Winkler developed over the past few years in order to provide axes and knives to teams within United States Army Special Operations and US Naval Special Warfare. Each piece in this collection bears the Winkler Knives II touchmark. This special edition design is exclusive to BladeGallery!
The Native is designed to be the perfect everyday carry fixed blade. Whether you're an avid camper, an experienced outdoorsman, or just someone who needs to rely on a blade that won't fail, this is the knife you've been waiting for!
The stout 3-1/2 inch blade is made from 80CrV2 carbon steel with a non-glare Caswell finish. A full distal tapered spine and tang offers perfect balance. Filework along the spine provides a sure thumb purchase.
A stained curly maple handle is set on the full tang and is completed with a lanyard hole.
The handle depicts a NW Native falcon in flight. The falcon is revered for its speed and strong predatory technique. Falcons are among the fastest birds on the planet, with speeds recorded at over 200 miles per hour. They manage this astonishing speed by entering into a freefall dive by tucking in their feet and wings. The dive bombing falcon kills not simply by sheer force of impact, but by strategically punching with its clenched foot before impact.
The versatile Kydex sheath can be worn vertically or horizontally for right- or left-hand draw with simple adjustments.

Nano-Oil (10W8CC)

Nano Oil is our favorite lubricant for folder mechanisms. The 10 weight oil ensures smooth action instantly.
At under .090 micron in size, the active molecules of Nano-Oil are called Nano Bearings. They truly are within the nano scale technology. They are magnetically induced to adhere to microscopic crevices and actually penetrate metals, providing a very low friction, dynamic contact.
NanoLube formulations are compatible with most existing lubricants on the market today - both synthetic & mineral. The Nano-Bearings concentration level is such that adding a few drops to a common lubricant will dramatically improve its anti friction qualities.
The convenient needle applicator makes is easy to apply oil exactly where it is needed!
