They collaborate with various blacksmiths and sharpeners around Japan and develop new series in an attempt to make some of the best knives in the world, but also really good knives in a lower price range to be able to supply all different needs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The Kumokage series is made with Aogami #2 in the core and soft iron on the outside, so it requires a little care when using it, but it makes up for it in cutting ability and how easy it is to sharpen. Kumokage means \"Cloud Shadow\" and tells a little about the appearance and expression of the knife. The very raw kurouchi finish on the top of the blade, together with the really nice damascus finish down towards the egg, gives the knife a super nice balance between \"unfinished\" and incredibly well made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe stock is a classic Japanese octagonal WA stock in walnut with a buffalo horn ferrule.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe knife here is a bunka of\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 18 cm.
