GSK11431: Sakura-2 Fixed Blade - Amboyna Burl

G. Sakai

Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the G. Sakai Sakura-2 is an elegant, highly refined fixed-blade knife designed to serve as both an exquisite collector's piece and a highly capable companion knife. This model beautifully demonstrates G. Sakai’s exceptional attention to detail, balancing premium Japanese cutlery steels with stunning natural materials. The 4.5" drop point blade is constructed from premium San Mai steel featuring a high-performance VG-10 stainless steel core. Ground flat with a clean satin finish, the blade delivers a razor-sharp, durable edge and superb slicing geometry. Its robust 0.155" thickness ensures great strength, while the drop point profile provides a highly versatile shape for hunting, outdoor tasks, or general utility work. The handle is a true highlight, featuring exquisite Karin Kobu (Amboyna burl) wood scales that showcase rich, complex grain patterns unique to every individual knife. The handle is bordered by a beautiful steel bolster milled with a decorative flower pattern, blending traditional Japanese artistry with modern precision machining. For storage and convenient carry, the Sakura-2 includes a premium black leather sheath.
