Product detailed description
The Japanese traditional field knife "剣鉈 KEN-NATA" is an exceptional piece that combines the mastery of Japanese craftsmanship and traditional design. This knife is made at 越前武生 ECHIZEN TAKEFU, where skilled craftsmen meticulously hand forge each specimen.
The shape of the blade of this knife introduces us to the world of "切付 KIRITSUKE", which gives the knife its unique characteristics and performance. With a blade length of 150mm, it is the ideal size to ensure optimum utility in a variety of situations.
The name of the knife "白尾根 SHIRO-ONE", meaning "white mountain ridge", carries a poetic touch associated with nature and tradition. Each knife is therefore not only a tool, but also a work of art that emphasises the connection with Japanese cultural heritage.
The most striking characteristic of this knife is the use of Japanese damascus steel in the TAKEFU SHIRO #2 core /multi-layer damascus composition. This steel combines high hardness with durability and aesthetic beauty. The layered damascus creates an eye-catching visual impression while providing a balanced and precise blade.
The knife comes with a brown leather sheath, which enhances its practicality and allows for convenient carrying.

Amazing knives with a history spanning more than eight hundred years originate from a place where craftsmanship has been refined through countless generations. Seki, widely known as the City of Blades, concentrates an exceptional number of Japanese swordsmiths and knifemakers. Tradition remains alive, evolving naturally while preserving the core principles of classical Japanese sword making. Each knife reflects manual skill, deep knowledge of steel, and respect for materials, clearly noticeable from the first cut.
VG-10 steel has earned its reputation through a balanced composition that supports long-lasting sharpness, structural stability, and an extremely fine edge. The blade responds precisely to careful grinding, delivering aggressive yet controlled cutting performance. The result offers remarkable sharpness combined with reliability, suitable for demanding kitchen tasks as well as intensive everyday use.
Production in Seki blends historic forging methods with modern control of heat treatment and steel structure. Every step focuses on performance, balance, and durability rather than superficial perfection. Japanese knives from this region have gained global recognition for their elegance, extreme sharpness, and technical sophistication, all grounded in authentic craftsmanship. Made in Japan here signals origin, heritage, and a serious commitment to quality.
