Final Markdown Mr. Itou Ith-175 "treasure Hunter Series" Custom R-2 Damascus 4-1/2" Drop-point Gut-hook Hunter, Hybrid Handle Now 45% Cheaper [CeDfsKm0]

Description

Hottest Custom Knife Maker Mr. Itou produced his original custom Damascus blade using special powdered steel R-2 in Rockwell hardness of HR.62

We had so many good words from the users for the extremely sharp cutting and edge retention ability. The secret of this is the finest powdered steel R-2 blade and the repeated hammer forging process. 

Another secret is he uses a large water stone wheel in slow rotating to grind his blades, unlike the normal belt sander grinding. This will prevent over-heating the blade to ruin the proper hardness and its chemical characters.

Mr. Itou also sticks to rare and unique natural materials for the handles, sourced from all over the world. Each of his knives comes with hand contoured unique custom handle, that enhances and matches with blade in well balance.

Mr. Itou is now 83 years old, and is slowing down his work for his age. We have recently received some knives collected from his production  during 2023 - 2024.
