Enami White #2 Kiritsuke 240mm

Tadashi Enami is a nationally certified Dentoukogeishi (master of traditional crafts) who specializes in forging knives using the wakashizuke technique of bonding iron to hard steel when making single-bevel knives. He uses iron powder and heat to do this, which is customary with old-school blacksmiths in Japan. We do not carry a saya that fits this knife.
