The Nakamura's bolster features 19 layers of steel and vari-colored copper, expertly worked so that the colors are exposed in intricate patterns. No dyes or other coloring process is used to produce the pattern. The result is a bolster that's incredibly beautiful matched with a blade that's incredibly hard. The blade has a core of VG-10 "Super Steel" layered with 420J2 stainless. Harder than other quality steels, it takes and holds an incredibly sharp edge longer. The combined VG-10 and 420J2 earns this blade a Rockwell Hardness rating of 57-59. The handle is exotic quince wood, known for its handsome and complex color variations. For added convenience, there's a removable pocket clip.
