Currently in production, this new Salter-Kiku collaboration Artist Series collectible knife will be a one-of-a-kind prized addition to any knife enthusiast.
There have only been 4 of these blades made by the hand of famed knife maker and one of the world's premier grinding specialists, Kiku Matsuda. Made exclusively by Kiku for Salter Fine Cutlery, each knife will be created with a different artistic vision.
This MkII Limited Edition knife will feature a decorative handle containing design elements of rare curly koa wood, Mozambique ebony, stainless steel and nickel-silver. It will include a curly koa wood display stand.
Not just a pretty face, the knife is extremely well made of OU-31 steel by Kiku of Japan and features his unique design pattern in a matte finish. The blade is very heavy duty and can be used as a razor sharp and heavy duty kitchen, camp, or outdoorsman's knife.
To guard against slipping, Kiku has added finger notches along the top of the blade like you would find in a tactical knife. However, the blade has been designed to work equally well as a heavy-duty chef's knife with an excellent rocking motion.
Knife Specs:
- Blade Length: Approximately 8-1/4" (210mm)
