Built around a Shirogami 1 core, this WAYO features a pressed chevron pattern running through the steel, letting you know which end is the pointy end. The spine shows evidence of the forging, with the original forged texture left intact, contrasting against the high-contrast etch of the dense nickel and 1084 cladding. The blade has an aggressive hollow grind, while a Mun ebony handle and antiqued bronze bolster cap complete the knife, keeping the overall palette restrained and letting the chevron pattern do the work.
