Tsuneo Yoshida Damascus Mokume Tasting Spoon

This tasting spoon was made for JNS as a custom order by Mr. Tsuneo Yoshida (Old Yoshikane) about 15 years ago. He made a few extra at the time and kept them, and now these last pieces have come to me.

It is hand forged from SLD semi-stainless steel, clad with stainless Damascus. You can see the Damascus pattern over the whole spoon, from the bowl to the end of the handle.

Mr. Yoshida is retired now, and today you will not find a maker in Japan who will hand forge a custom tasting spoon like this. So this is a very rare piece, and once these are gone there will be no more.

Old stock, made about 15 years ago.
