Matsubara Blue #2 Wavy Face

Katsuto Tanaka of Tanaka Kama Kogyo in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, uses this core steel throughout the Wavy Face line, forge-welded in san-mai construction with stainless cladding and finished with his distinctive hand-hammered wavy face texture. His four-generation blacksmithing family traces its craft back over 800 years, and that handwork is clearly visible in every finished blade.
