We have long been adoring admirers of Tasai-san's work, especially of his gorgeous mokumegane damascus finishes.
While beautiful to behold on his chisels, his kiridashi are particularly spectacular because they are all mokume - where the laminated blue paper edge finishes, the damascus steel starts, and it doesn't end until the tool ends.
The visual effect is stunning both front and back, while the turn-up of the cutting edge steel on the kiridashi's point is as beautiful as it is precise.
