Description

 "Dignified elegance". These words describe Custom Knife Maker Hiroshi Saito's dedicated custom works.

At the Seki Outdoor Knife Show in October 2014, I fell in love with this sophisticated handmade knife collection. When I picked this knife up and had a closer look, I saw that every little detail had been carefully taken care of, it had a perfect grip and balance, overall it was the fruit of its creator's spirit and philosophy.

Hiroshi Saito, the maker of this knife, has dedicated many long years to creating custom knives. The making process for custom knives is very different from that of factory knives, which use many standardized, automated processes. Making custom knives requires effort, and the value of the final product lies in how well the product reflects the creator's philosophy and the perfection of their skills.

SH-30 Natural Elegant Utility Beautifully hand-polished, Hair Lined Finished and Convex grind profile ATS-34 Staninless Steel, 5' Drop Point Blade comes with a custom handmade 4.9' Desert Ironwood Handle with Brass Hilt that are securely fastened to a hidden tang.

Master Saito carefully selects only the finest sections of premium ironwood, emphasizing both aesthetic harmony and functional excellence. From material choice to the smallest detail, every aspect of this knife reflects his pursuit of precision and elegance.

Though elegant in form, this knife collection is designed with true practicality in mind. The gentle convex grind and the ergonomic contour of the handle offer a secure, comfortable grip suitable for versatile field use.

Comes with a custom handmade dark-brown leather sheath.
