I bought me a damascus steel knife from Tsukiji market!

I’ve gotten a knife from these guys previously, and was actually just visiting the place again to look at the shiny sharp things when the patterning caught my eye. A quick check with the boss confirmed my suspisions and immediately turned into a purchase.

As susual, they took the knife for final polishing and sharpening once the deal was struck, but this time they actually asked for my name so that it could be carved onto the blade!

Final polishing and sharpeningHaving my name marked on the knife

It’s not a sword, but perhaps one day….
