The Elephant Calf design captures a young elephant with a raised, curling trunk, broad ears, and finely engraved skin folds. Multi-colour plating highlights the expressive face and textured body on a Ginsan steel blade. This 240mm Wa Gyuto pairs the playful animal motif with an ebony handle, giving the detailed composition a generous 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.
