Description: The airstep design has become a hallmark of Koji Hara's work. Both steel and mother of pearl have been sculpted into a meticulous terrace. The stainless steel blade is formed from Cowry Y -- a powdered metallurgical steel not available in the United States. This steel is capable of a higher hardness without being brittle. The resulting edge has extremely good edge retention. The blade has been hollow ground and mirror polished. It is easily opened using the mother of pearl thumb stud. The blade has silky-smooth action and is perfectly centered. Jewel finished interior. Exceptional work throughout!
