Discover the artistry of Kanetsugu, a revered name in blade craftsmanship. Born in 1925, Kanetsugu continues the legacy of Kamakura-era sword-making techniques. During World War II, he was compelled to produce military swords, but after the war, he crafted specialized tools for the Japan Racing Association.
The KT-103 Guardian Knife exemplifies his unique approach, blending tradition with modernity. Forged from seven layers of soft iron and high-carbon steel, the blade showcases intricate patterns from repeated folding and hammering. Hand-polished to a razor-sharp edge, it slices through paper as if it were air.
Compact and robust, this knife is perfect for personal protection and easy to carry. While a replica, its quality rivals that of the original, offering significant savings. Collectors and enthusiasts alike will appreciate its practicality and value.
