DESCRIPTION: A fabulous set of twelve knives, the blades of sterling silver with each handle made from a finely crafted antique kozuka. This set demonstrates a wide range of Japanese metals and metal working techniques, including iron, shakudo and shibuichi bodies, all decorated with gold, silver or copper overlays. Five kozuka have nanako (“fish roe”) backgrounds, one has very fine hand engraving and one is artist signed. We invite you to do the math per kozuka to see the reasonable price for the set. CONDITION: All blades firmly set with no breaks, all fronts in good condition, backs of five knives have some dents or scuffs. DIMENSIONS: Each 6 ˝” long.
