The overall design of this sturdy knife is intended to give excellent grip and durability to withstand the harsh winters experienced in the northern Hokkaido prefecture of Japan. In the native Hokkaido Ainu language, the name Kimun Kamuy refers to the brown bear as the "Mountain God". Designed by Takaaki Chujo, the Kamun Kamuy II takes its inspiration from its namesake. Chujo designed the blade to have the likeness of the brown bear tooth, giving it great performance in self-defense as well as enhanced use as a skinner. The 0.141" thick VG-10 core Damascus blade offers both beauty and the durability you expect from a great hunting knife. The handle is black G10 and it comes with a brown leather sheath.
