Description

Takeshi Saji SRS-13 Damascus Tsuchime 180mm Bunka with Ironwood HandleThis bunka is handcrafted by Echizen master blacksmith Takeshi Saji using super steel SRS13 as core, and heat treated to 63 HRC. Although the SRS13 can be treated to a harder 64 HRC, Mr. Saji has chosen not to push the hardness to the extreme, therefore making the edge a bit tougher than an equivalent SG2 blade of the same edge geometry. The jigane is hand hammer with a beautiful tsuchime pattern then polished for luster. The grind is beautifully

This bunka is handcrafted by Echizen master blacksmith Takeshi Saji using super steel SRS13 as core, and heat-treated to 63 HRC. Although the SRS13 can be treated to a harder 64 HRC, Mr. Saji has chosen not to push the hardness to the extreme, therefore making the edge a bit tougher than an equivalent SG2 blade of the same edge geometry. The jigane is hand hammer with a beautiful tsuchime pattern then polished for luster. The grind is beautifully done, and has a beautiful Sumingashi (Damascus) finish. Superbly thin behind-the-edge, this petty gives a superior cutting performance. Handle made of beautifully polished desert ironwood.

About Takeshi Saji 佐治 武士

Master Saji is the third generation blacksmith of Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, who has been certified as a traditional knife craftsman at the age of 44. Now in his 70s, with over 30 years of experience in making handcrafted knives, Master Saji makes breathtakingly beautiful Damascus knives, which often paired with unique custom handles such as handcrafted ironwood handles. Having become a legend in hunting knife making, Master Saji has a unique eye for fine finish, and he's also innovating constantly by bringing new looks to knives.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Great Protective Case for My Mother’s iPad
Color: 2-Watermelon Red, Color: 2-Watermelon Red
I bought this case along with my mother’s new iPad, and it was the perfect choice. The watermelon red color looks beautiful with the pink iPad and gives it a very clean and stylish look. The case feels sturdy without adding too much weight, which makes it comfortable for her to carry around and use every day. The stand feature works really well for watching videos, reading, and video calls. I also like that the case supports the auto wake and sleep function, which makes the iPad feel even more convenient and easy to use. The cutouts fit perfectly, and Touch ID still works without any issues. The translucent back is a nice touch because it still lets the iPad color show through while keeping it protected from scratches and bumps. Overall, this case exceeded expectations and makes a great addition for anyone wanting both protection and style for their iPad.

Good product. What you see is what you get.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
Material feels sturdy and was a perfect fit compatible for my iPad. There's adequate grip and padding for a comfortable yet slim feel. Magnets hold it close and in one position when propping it up for watching landscape videos. Back is translucent as advertised. Solid product, put it on as i opened my new ipad for immediate protection. Perfectly safe blind buy if you're also getting that 'frequently bought together' suggestion from Amazon.

Bright & Pretty Hot Pink.
Color: Pitaya Red, Color: Pitaya Red
Very pretty and bright. It’s thick and great quality. Strong grip and doesn’t come off easily. Easy to clean when it gets dirty. It also has a nice backing. I prefer the transparent bright pink backing than the clear version. I love the strong magnetic for when I position it upwards. It can be positioned downwards too.
