Description: Renowned Japanese knifemaker Kiku Matsuda has been grinding blades for over 40 years and is a 5th generation knife grinder. His unique, dramatic grinds are well known throughout the knife industry. His father runs a small workshop in Seki, grinding blades for production knife makers. Kiku joined his father's business at the age of 15 and learned grinding techniques from his father. Kiku's skill at the grinder has become legendary.
Konio is an excellent example of Kiku's ability to pack a lot of knife into a small package. The gracefully recurved blade features flat ground OU-31 stain resistant tool steel (Kiku’s favorite steel) and Kiku's signature disruptive acid finish. The recurve shape extends the length of cutting edge beyond the overall length of the blade and enhances cutting efficiency. An ergonomically sculpted and contoured green micarta grip completes this refined 8 inch companion piece. The exposed tang at the pommel is dual purposed as both a lanyard hole and a glass breaker. This compact design is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a tough, dependable knife in a compact format that will stand up to the rigors of everyday use.
Accompanied by a Kydex sheath.
