The D05 combines the distinctive beauty of Damascus steel with a handle crafted from Cobalt Alloy Extramarise, Mizutani’s gold-standard handle material. This thoughtful construction delivers the refined cutting experience of the Dama CMC Powdered Metal series while offering a more accessible price point without compromising the craftsmanship and performance Mizutani is known for.

Design Note:

The D05 blade is crafted entirely from Damascus steel, also historically associated with Wootz steel. Our Damascus steel features 32 layers of forged iron and steel, incorporating charcoal in a carefully controlled forging process. Through this traditional metalworking technique, the blade develops its distinctive flowing watermark pattern, making each shear a unique expression of craftsmanship.
