Experience the precision and control that only a traditional Japanese craft knife can deliver. This completely handmade tool embodies centuries of blade-making expertise, designed specifically to bring you closer to your work for unparalleled carving control.

Key Features:

  • Full tang construction ensuring maximum strength and balance
  • Three layers of laminated steel for exceptional edge retention
  • 4-inch handle with traditional woven cord wrapping
  • 2½-inch precision blade for close, controlled work
  • Generous bolster for safety and finger positioning
  • Overall length: 6½ inches
  • Completely handmade by skilled artisans
  • Includes protective vinyl shipping cover

Ideal for:

  • Fine woodcarving and whittling
  • Detail carvers and miniature makers
  • Traditional Japanese woodworking
  • Precision craftwork
  • Artists and sculptors

Benefits:

  • Extended handle provides superior leverage and control
  • Shorter blade brings you closer to your work for intricate detailing
  • Woven cord wrap offers secure grip and reduces hand fatigue
  • Laminated steel construction delivers lasting sharpness
  • Bolster design prevents slippage for safer operation
  • Single-piece construction eliminates weak points

Design Excellence: The thoughtful proportions of this knife—with its longer handle and shorter blade—represent a deliberate departure from conventional designs. This ratio allows you to choke up on the handle, bringing your hand closer to the cutting edge for the kind of precise control that detailed carving demands. The traditional cord wrapping isn't just beautiful; it provides tactile feedback and a secure grip that becomes even better with use.

Craftsmanship Details: Each knife is completely handmade, ensuring that every piece meets exacting standards. The three-layer laminated steel construction follows time-honored Japanese techniques, creating a blade that takes and holds an exceptionally sharp edge while remaining easy to maintain.

Perfect Pairing: While this straight-blade version excels at precise cuts, scoring, and detail work, consider adding our curved-blade variant to your collection. Together, they provide a complete solution for any carving challenge you might encounter.

This isn't just another craft knife—it's a carefully designed tool that reflects generations of Japanese blade-making wisdom. The combination of traditional construction methods and thoughtful ergonomics creates a knife that feels like a natural extension of your hand.
