Passion and Dedication of the Craftsman

A small silver blade embodying the exquisite craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of Edo jewelry. It consists of a blade finished using Japanese sword-making techniques and a handle inspired by the decorative ornaments (menuki) on the hilts of Japanese swords. The delicate carvings seem alive, forming a single story with the background metal chasing. Displayed, it gives the impression of a miniature Japanese sword.

The instant you hold it in your hand to open an envelope, your expectations and excitement are heightened.

With its quiet dignity and beauty, this is a paper knife a cut above the rest.
