Description: Anders uses a traditional Japanese clay tempering on his blades that allows the spine of the blade to remain flexible, while giving a hard edge for strength. The result is a very sturdy blade that holds an exceptional edge. The clay tempering leaves a hamon that is plainly in evidence on the blade of this knife. The fit and finish are excellent. The balance point of this knife is right through the center of the bolster. The Chinese gold makes an appealing accent to the masur birch and the texturing of the bolster and pins contrasts nicely with the figuring of the wood.
