Kiku Matsuda is one of the most famous blade grinders in Japan. With over forty years of experience, Kiku Matsuda has been grinding knives since he was 15 years old and is a fifth generation knife grinder. Using the Hamaguri-Ba grinding technique, he has produced the Japanese convex edge normally only found in the classic Katana sword.
The Stout Spear utilizes a OU-31 steel blade with acid wish. The 9.76" long and narrow Hamaguri-ba blade features a spear like tip with a long false edge. This specialty steel blade makes for a durable edge with retaining sharpness. The handle is made from a hand contoured Micarta with thumb notches and lanyard hole. Includes a hand fitted Kydex sheath.
