Mazaki White #2 Hon-Sanmai Kuro Nashiji Chuka 210mm
Naoki Mazaki is a blacksmith located in Sanjo, Niigata. He works alone in his small workshop and handles all aspects of his knife making. These cleavers were made from Shirogami 2 steel hand laminated in soft iron. The blade is kurouchi finished with natural texture from forging. The iron displays loads of beautiful banding. Crazy nice geometry with a close to fat blade profile. Fitted with octagonal Siamese Rosewood and buffalo horn ferrule. Absolutely incredible craftmanship all around.
