GS11604T - UKIMON - Tanto / VG-10 / Blue Wave
G. SAKAI―The harmony of traditional craftsman skills and advanced technology.
The Ukimon is a small, money clip knife with a twist: the obverse scale of each Ukimon knife features a recreation of famous Ukiyo-e artistic prints. These images are done using a unique process involving raised printing and UV radiation. This technique is similar to screen printing is used to color the images. The result is finely textured renditions of famous Japanese works of art. The Ukimon is a tribute to Japanese craftsmanship, by traditional craftsmen.
This Ukimon features the “Kanagawa Okinamiura” meaning Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or Blue Wave, from the series from a wood block print by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, part of his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, dating from 1830-1832.
To compliment the beautiful artwork, this knife uses woodgrain stainless Damascus with a VG-10 core with a Samurai sword blade (Katana) nail mark.
