Humpback Whale Utility Knife

A hand-forged, whale-shaped utility knife from Japan, also called a Kujira knife. It's great for sharpening pencils or whittling while camping, and its sharp blade will surprise you despite the cute design. With proper care, this fixed-blade knife will last a lifetime.

Material: Shiroko high-carbon steel
Size: 6" x 1"

About the maker: Tosa cutlery making in Kochi Prefecture dates back to the start of the Edo period (around 1603). Using traditional techniques, bladesmith Satoshi Yamashita created the whale-shaped knife after his children asked for a knife without a pointed tip so they could sharpen their own pencils.

Made in Japan.
