The Dragon’s Gate design features a coiled dragon, its scales, claws, and flowing whiskers rendered in detailed hand engraving. Multi-colour plating brings contrast to the intricate artwork on a kasumi-finished White 3 steel blade. Paired with a magnolia handle and buffalo-horn ferrule, this 240mm deba gives the dragon’s sweeping form a broad canvas.

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.
