Ball Point Awl (Cocobolo) II

{:ja}切れ味にこだわり、美しさと高い機能性を兼ね備えた取替式オールです。 職人が一点一点丁寧に作り込み高い精度にこだわりました。刃はオーストリアボーラー社の最高峰第3世代粉末高速鋼M390を使っています。M390はナイフによく用いられている粉末高速鋼で、越前鍛冶の包丁職人も使用している鋼材です。優れた靭性と耐食性を持つマルテンサイトステンレス系鋼です。非常に高い耐摩耗性を持つため、少し研ぎにくさはありますが、一度刃付いたら長く維持出来ます。職人が手作業で削り出し、研磨仕上げしているので、すぐに抜群の切れ味を発揮します。少し切れ味が落ちたと感じる時は青棒で磨くと、簡単に復活できます。 ハンドルは２種類から選べます： ココボロ：ココボロは油脂分が多く、使うほど光沢感が増します。また、非常に耐朽性が高く、耐久性に優れた希少材です。 スタビライズドメイプルバール：スタビライズドウッド（stabilizedwood）とは、真空含浸を用いて樹脂を木材深部まで染み渡らせ、木材を均一に硬化し安定させた素材です。木材の弱点である湿気の影響をほとんど受けず、着色された樹脂が木材内部まで浸透しているので、塗装と異なり色が剥げるようなことがありません。天然の木目と鮮やかな発色が絡み合った独特の模様が魅力的です。 ※ 替刃とハンドルは別々販売となります ※ 天然木を使用していますので色柄は一点一点異なります{:}{:en}Overview: This replaceable blade is designed with a strong emphasis on sharpness, beauty, and high functionality. Precision Craftsmanship: Our skilled craftsmen meticulously craft each knife with a focus on high precision. The blade is made from Austria's BÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN steel, the finest 3rd generation powdered high-speed steel. M390 is a commonly used powdered high-speed steel in knife-making, including among the skilled bladesmiths of Echizen. It is a Martensitic stainless steel known for its excellent toughness and corrosion resistance. Although it may require a bit of effort to sharpen due to its exceptional wear resistance, once sharpened, it maintains its edge for an extended period. Our craftsmen handwork each blade, ensuring it exhibits outstanding sharpness right from the start. If you ever feel the sharpness diminishes, a quick touch-up with a sharpening rod will easily restore it. Handle Options: You have two handle options to choose from: A) Cocobolo Handle: The Cocobolo handle boasts a high oil content, resulting in an increased glossy appearance with use. It offers exceptional resistance to decay and is crafted from a rare material known for its durability. B) Stabilized Maple Burl Handle: The Stabilized Maple Burl handle is created using a process called "stabilized wood," which involves vacuum impregnation of resin deep into the wood, resulting in uniform hardening and stabilization. It is virtually unaffected by humidity, a common weakness of wood, and the colored resin penetrates the wood's interior, preventing color chipping unlike paint. The handle exhibits a unique and attractive pattern, combining natural wood grains with vivid colors. Note: The replacement blades and handles are sold separately. As natural wood is used for the handles, please be aware that each piece may have slight difference in color and pattern.{:}
