The Crocodile design brings the reptile’s textured scales and curved tail to the blade of a compact 165mm deba. Hand engraving and multi-colour plating set the animal against a dark kurouchi finish, emphasising its detailed surface. The White 2 steel blade and ebony handle give this distinctive display piece a restrained setting for its striking artwork.

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.
