Takamura Hamono | Uchigumo-Hana (打雲花) Series | Damascus Petty Knife 130mm

── OVERVIEW ──

A stunning and exceptionally rare Damascus knife from Takamura Hamono

(高村刃物製作所), one of the most celebrated knife makers in Echizen,

Fukui Prefecture — Japan's 700-year-old center of bladesmithing tradition.

⭐ FEATURED ON JAPANESE NATIONAL TELEVISION ⭐

The Uchigumo-Hana Damascus series was featured on the hit Fuji TV

program "Tokoro Japan" as the personal favorite knife of one of

Japan's most iconic actors. It sparked nationwide demand and is

frequently backordered with wait times of up to 6 months.

── THE NAME ──

"Uchigumo-Hana" (打雲花) translates as "Forged Cloud Flower" —

a poetic reference to the flowing Damascus wave pattern on the blade,

reminiscent of clouds and blossoms. A name as beautiful as the knife itself.

── THE BLADE ──

The Damascus construction layers 32 different stainless steel sheets,

hand-forged through over 100 individual steps by a master craftsman.

The result is the signature wave-like Damascus pattern — both visually

breathtaking and functionally superior.

✦ Multi-layer Damascus steel (32-layer forged stainless)

✦ Powder high-speed steel core — exceptional sharpness & edge retention

✦ Corrosion-resistant — stainless-grade rust protection

✦ Lightweight and agile — ideal for precision work
