Mr. Itou R-2 Custom Damascus Knives


Mr. Itou IT-210 Custom R2 Damascus 4-1/4" Drop-point Hunter, Maple Burl wood Handle

Availability: Normally ships the same day


Description 

The Hottest Custom Knife Maker Mr. Itou produces 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 81 years old, and is slowing down his work for his health problem, but as far as his health condition allows, he said he will continue making only what he really wants to make as a culmination of his long knife making career.
