A knife by Mr. Ryuichi Kawamura, one of Japan’s leading custom knife makers. He began making knives in 1994, became a professional in 2002, and is a veteran maker with award-winning history at knife shows both in Japan and overseas. Mr. Kawamura advocates “Slow made,” and says he can produce only about four knives per month—roughly 40 to 50 per year—but the careful workmanship of his pieces is outstanding. Most of his work is sold overseas, making this a particularly valuable knife. Among Remington’s classic knives, the one-blade lock-back folder “R1306” is one of the most popular models in his reproductions. For this R1306, the blade is made from the latest Damascus—coreless laminated steel. You can enjoy both the beautiful layered pattern and exceptional sharpness. As always, the stag he selects is superb; this handle also uses stag truly worthy of being called “premium.” *Coreless laminated steel Made by layering two different steels many times over. Through the forging effect, it achieves high sharpness, high durability, and high toughness. A groundbreaking blade material in which the pattern extends all the way to the cutting edge. Overall length: 175 mm Closed length: 102 mm (4") Blade length: 76 mm (3") Weight: 90 g Blade material: VG10/VG2 Coreless Damascus Handle material: Premium stag Bolster: Stainless steel *Because the handle is made from natural material, patterns and appearance vary from piece to piece.
