This knife original model is DON-ZDP. However, this model has big different of the two part. The most different things of the blade shape which is made by "Tanto-Honzukuri".It is "Tanto-convex" blade shape. As you know, we are making to the "Tanto" blade shape with 智 CHI model. But this blade shape is "Tanto-Shinogizukuri". That means straight grind. However, we were completed "Tanto-Honzukuri" with ROCKSTEAD special technologies. The only a few knife maker who make this kind of blade shape. But, we have never seen "Tanto-Honzukuri" with mirror polishing surface.
The other point is the handle design. This handle motif is traditional Japanese Tanto-sword (Wakizashi). Handle materials are ebony with silver plate inlays. And decorated KOI's menuki. It is made by silver casting.
