The Sojo no koi design places a large, intricately engraved koi against the dark kurouchi finish of a 240mm deba. Multi-colour plating highlights the fish and surrounding waves, creating a strong contrast with the White 2 steel blade. An ebony handle completes the piece, while the carefully worked scales and fins draw attention to Kubota’s hand engraving.

Michiko Kubota's Engraving

Japanese master engraver Michiko Kubota transforms knife blades into individual works of art through wabori, traditional Japanese metal engraving. Working entirely by hand with a hammer and chisels, she creates intricate designs inspired by nature and Japanese culture. Each engraved surface catches the light differently, revealing the depth, texture, and detail of her craftsmanship.
