The Bamboo Forest is a yanagi Scott recently made for a local sushi chef, and the name refers to the textured hammer marks Scott added to the upper portion of the beveled side of the blade.
The blade is complemented by a traditional Japanese wa handle made of African blackwood, curly, a mokume ferrule, and matching buttcap.
While the right hand side is beveled to provide a wicked sharp edge that can be maintained with a water stone, the left side of the blade is concave to reduce sticking while slicing.
