About this piece, Zack and Nick have worked hard to try and deepen our use of Japanese craftwork into the series of knives for DCI 2026. The Gyuto, chef knife features a unique sheath (Saya) where we inlaid a section of reclaimed Japanese marquetry. The pattern is called Asanoha, which symbolizes the hemp plant which has been used in Japanese culture for centuries, long before cotton was available. The same symbol is etched into the button on the butt of the handle. Asanoha is a pattern that symbolizes, vigor, resistance, health and growth.
