Tetsujin Blue 2 Tanryusen (Metal Flow)

Sanmai - Soft Iron Clad Etched Ginsan / Silver #3 / Stainless Tosa, Japan

Tanryusen features some highly visible forging cloud on the iron cladding achieved through meticulous hand-forging, very similar to the much loved and elusive Shigefusa cloud. The difference is that, often this type of forging lines are found on knives cladded with old wrought iron, which are usually rare and expensive; in contrast, the cladding cloud on Tanryusen is formed by great forging and sharpening techniques of the makers.
