It is a very cool knife with a solid, heavy feel and a hammered pattern!
5mm thick blade with full tang
The base of the blade and handle is where the knife is most vulnerable to force. This knife has a "full tang structure" with a single piece of steel running from the blade edge to the handle, making it a strong knife that can be used with great toughness.
Wave-shaped handle that fits comfortably in the hand
The Goken nata knife is made of solid steel sandwiched between strong walnut wood.
The grip has a wave shape that fits each finger, allowing you to work with a firm grip.
The sheepsfoot shape is solid and heavy, yet offers fine controllability to the blade edge. Also very useful for making feather sticks!
One of a kind, carefully crafted one by one by craftsmen of Tsubame-Sanjo!
