Product Description

Spyderco Itamae Bunka Santoku Knife K18GPBNBK, 7.7" SUS410 Satin Plain Blade, Burl G-10 Handle

The blades of Itamae Series knives are expertly crafted from laminated steel consisting of an Aogami Super Blue core clad between layers of SUS410 stainless steel. This classic three-layer construction allows the outer layers to protect and support the ultra-hard carbon-steel center layer that forms the blade's edge. Ground exceptionally thin and straight for unparalleled cutting performance, the blades also feature Murray Carter's signature "Carter Elbow"—a distinctive taper from the spine to the point that reinforces the blade's tip. The elite blades of the Itamae Series are paired with traditional "wa"-style (octagonal) handles made from stunning burl G10 and highlighted with black G10 ferrules.
