Hunting knife - 1 of 1

Unique hand-forged hunting knife made by Taguchi-san in Takefu, Japan. This knife was made as a single piece – 1 of 1.

The blade is forged from stainless VG-10 Damascus steel, featuring a distinctive wavy Damascus pattern across much of the blade. The polished finish combined with the pronounced Damascus pattern gives the knife an elegant appearance that sets it apart from more traditional Japanese hunting knives.

The knife has a full-tang construction with green patterned handle scales, red liners and metal pins. The substantial polished bolster forms an integrated finger guard and gives the knife a classic hunting knife appearance.

The blade has a relatively slender profile with a pronounced upswept tip and a generous curve along the cutting edge. This shape makes it well suited to precision work and the cutting tasks typically performed with a hunting knife.

The knife comes with a handmade sheath in natural brown leather.

This is not a production model, but a unique one-off knife, hand-forged by Taguchi-san in Takefu.
