Shoichi Hashimoto is the greatest damascus artist in Japan, located in Hiroshima. His skill as a blacksmith is amazing. This knife is sharpened by the talented Naohito Myojin. 

The core of the Yuzan series is comprised of shirogami #2 and aogami #2 high carbon steels in a twist pattern damascus. The cladding is made from SK3, Soft Iron, and a multiple combination of other steels twisted. The beautifully etched steel displays infinite amounts of detail and character, the layers can be ever so slightly felt to the touch.
