TANZAKU-TOU FOLDING KNIFE 17CM KANETSUNE SEKI (KB-562)

The word "TANZAKU" in Japanese means peace of metal or paper.
In Japan, people sometimes write their goals, wishes or dreams on "TANZAKU".
Even the craftsmen who make artistic metal parts for Japanese swords engrave their name on the metal "TANZAKU" to pass it down to posterity.
This is why "TANZAKU" is known as one of the lucky objects in Japan.
This knife has a traditional Japanese style straight blade made from AUS-8 stainless steel and a beautifully finished handle with a clip that allows you to change the position to suit your needs and a smooth action of the Liner lock mechanism.

This KB-562 is the second edition of the "TANZAKU-TOU".
This version with stainless steel handle was made for those who love the color silver.
This stainless steel single-color version has a very nice look.
