KIMUN KAMUY 2 VG10 Damascus Outdoor knife

The designer of this knife is Takaaki Chujo, a 50-year experienced hunter from Hokkaido (Northernmost large island of Japan). According to Mr. Chujo, this knife is designed to combine the sturdiness of a hatchet and the sharpness that easily cuts into the prey. The blade shape and grip are carefully crafted for quick and accurate use in the harsh winters of Hokkaido. The name "KIMUN KAMUY" refers to the brown bear, known as the "mountain god" in the Ainu language (indigenous Hokkaido language).

The blade shape is likened to the canine tooth of the brown bear. Considering the function of self-defense, improved stabbing performance gives you better protection from fierce animals. Of course, this knife is well fit for skinning and slaughtering preys.
