It's not the crazy, artsy damascus you can find on other knives (including other Kikuichi knives) but it provides all the
actual benefits of damascus treatment --- in this case, with grantons!
I trust and really love Kikuichi. YMMV, but these guys have been making swords for 800 years, including for the Emperor for several hundred of those years, and still family owned. Ralph offers excellent prices for this stuff. You might find it cheaper if you had an "in" somewhere, but only by a coupla bucks... and it's good to have a relationship with your knife guy (see above
)
EDIT -- The knife linked above is a 61-62 Rockwell C scale, and it's Stainless! if you've read my other posts about hardness and stainless, you'll appreciate how amazing this knife is.
Just to be clear -- I have no affiliation with Ralph and get no commission or anything. I'm just enthusiastic about this stuff, and he's a great source of information and quality, often unique, products.
