We waited a year for this work to be delivered. 
It is a work of traditional craftsman Yoshikazu Ikeda.
His products are very difficult to find,even in Japan.

*It looks rainbow-colored because it is coated with rust-proof liquid vinyl.
We ship with a cream that can easily wipe off this rust inhibitor. 
Or, if you would like to wipe at our shop before shipping, please state in 
the comment on the checkout page that you want to wipe.  
Instead, we ship with oil that prevents rust.

There are rumors that Ikeda will retire in the near future.
You may also want to own this knife for investment purposes.
