Rare Shintaro Nakayama Custom Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife – 3V Steel / Red Micarta & Bronze Handle / Kydex Sheath / Made in Japan

Product Description

A rare custom fixed-blade knife by Japanese knifemaker Shintaro Nakayama, featuring bold blade geometry, flowing lines, and a distinctive combination of 3V steel, Micarta, and bronze.

This custom outdoor knife showcases Nakayama's eye for dramatic yet refined design, bringing together sharp geometric details and smooth, sweeping curves.

The blade is crafted from 3V steel, a high-performance tool steel known for its toughness and wear resistance.

Its striking profile combines angular transitions with a long, sweeping cutting edge, creating a silhouette that feels both powerful and elegant.

A distinctive finger hole near the base of the blade adds another visual and functional element to the design.

The handle combines red Micarta and bronze, offering a rich contrast between the textured composite material and the metallic accents.

Carefully contoured for a comfortable grip, the handle features smooth transitions and a sculpted profile that complement the knife's overall design.

Measuring approximately 282mm (11.10 inches) overall, the knife features a 152mm (5.98-inch) blade with a thickness of approximately 6mm (0.24 inches).

At approximately 274.5g (9.68 oz), it has a substantial feel that matches its bold proportions.

A Kydex sheath with a gray digital camouflage pattern is included, providing a fitted storage and carry solution that complements the knife's distinctive aesthetic.
