Description: Japanese knifemaker Yoshihito Aida is known for his precision, fully integral knives. He is truly a master of this extremely difficult style. This knife, made in 1987, has been in a single collection and was highly cherished. It has never been used to cut and is in new condition. By appearances, it could have been made yesterday.
From tip to rear guard, the knife is formed from a single piece of ATS-34 stainless steel. The integral design has tremendous strength and durability. The blade has been dagger ground, with the spine being brought just shy of a fully sharpened edge. A hollow grind results in particularly dramatic grind lines. The blade has been hand satin finished. The full tang has been distal tapered and arches into the front and rear bolsters. Stag scales has been formed to fit perfectly and are set with stainless rivets. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
