In addition to its beauty, the combination of steels makes this blade more stable by distributing the forces.
Traditional cutting tool and essential in a workshop, the round knife is used for cutting (straights and curves) and/or to skive leather as well.
Delivered sharpened and ready to start working, plus a dose of camellia oil to keep the blade oiled and the wood nourished.

  2. Stabilized Ebony,Turkish Oak and Maple Burl.

“San mai” roughly translates as three flat things, in Japanese (San=three Mai=unit counter for flat objects). The term, and its root honsanmai, has been used to describe that construction method for many hundreds of years, from around 1300 A.D. It refers to when three layers of steel are used. The center is hard, and the side is typically softer. As san mai is a generic term for a technique, the term can’t be trademarked. Outside the specific context of blade construction technique, the term, in general use in Japan, refers to three flat thing
