The Showasaku series is a higher-grade series made by hand than the Mikihisa series. We create a blade that cuts through multiple processes, allowing you to craft it without stress. Since it is made of blue steel, it can also be used to work with hard materials (dried bamboo). In addition to woodworking, it is also used for handling fish (eel), etc.
The knife is lightly coated with varnish to prevent rust, so it may feel dull at first. It will come off when you use it, but if you want to enjoy the sharpness of Ikeuchi knives from the beginning, please wipe it off with thinner before use.

*Can be resharpened and repaired.
