The blade is clad in a beautiful Damascus steel layer and finished with a fine Bokashi treatment, creating a distinctive pattern with a soft, cloud-like appearance.
The knife features a full-tang Western-style handle with brown cow bone scales. The sturdy full-tang construction provides excellent durability, while the warm color and natural texture of the cow bone give the knife a unique feel and character.
