Manufacturer

Yoshimi Kotoh is a Japanese knifemaker from the island of Kyushu, who has been dedicated to the handmade production of pocket knives in a small-scale workshop for over 40 years. He is a member of the Japanese Knife Guild, and his work combines precise craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a sense of material. Each knife is made in-house - from the forged blade made of VG-10 or D2 steel to the finely grained handle made of exotic wood. His knives are not mass-produced, but unique tools with character.

Material

The blade is made of Japanese stainless steel VG10. The handle is made of Japanese cedar Sugi (also known as "ironwood"), encrusted with natural antler. The package includes a handmade case made of natural leather.

Maintenance

The mechanism is initially tighter, but it will settle over time or can be adjusted with a screw near the blade's neck. After use, always clean, dry, and store the knife in a dry place. Depending on usage frequency, regular oiling (e.g., with camellia oil) is recommended for both the blade and the wooden handle. For sharpening, use the wet method on sharpening stone.
