G. Sakai Bosen Tenchi hunting knife
G. Sakai
G.Sakai was established in 1958 under the name”Sakai Hamono” as a Japanese knife manufacture. Sakai Hamono was greatly inspired by Gerber Legendary Blades and succeeded in cooperation with the american company in 1977. After changing the name to G. Sakai, the company has continued expanding the life of the original products under brand name. G.Sakai produces high fixed blade knives, folders and kitchen knives.
The TENCHI is a counterpart of the Kentauros because of
coexistence of the Japanese sensitivity and Western paragon.
The blade made out of SLD clad steel successfully depicts an image of
Japanese old traditional technic of blacksmith by the stamp of random
pattern on the upper flat area.
The SLD (dies steel) is high grade version of SKD11 in JIS standard, which has recentlybeen developed by a leading metal company in Japan.
The main ingredient of the SLD steel is high carbon, chrome and molybdenum vanadium. The worthy of mention is that 1.0% of molybdenum and 0.3% of vanadium was added to 1.5% of carbon and 12.0% of chrome.
It is very reliable in terms of tensile strength, hardness, ductility, wear resistance and long retainment of razor sharp edge..
The symmetrical mahogany handle may be a reminiscence of the typical
handle style of bayonet in WW1 and WWll.
