Takefu Dagger

The Japanese have a cutlery steel they call Takefu Suminagashi which is made up of a core of White Steel, the highest grade of cutlery steel, with 11 layers of low carbon non hardenable steel on either side.
The layers are dead flat which makes grinding it a real challenge.
Offered here is a dagger with a blade of the Takefu steel.
The guard is 416 and brass with a frame handle of 416 and ancient bog oak.
The all leather blade sheath is hand made by the maker.
$300 plus shipping of $20
Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.
