Japanese Wood Carving Knife

This Japanese carving knife is made by a master craftsman in Japan exclusively for Rutlands®. An important part of any carver's tool collection, carving knives can be used in tandem with chisels and gouges for roughing out and fine detailing work or on their own for whittling and chip carving. The blades are made from hardened high carbon A2 tool steel which is perfect for carving knives as it renowned for not chipping, cracking or breaking during heavy use.

The steel will hone to a razor sharp edge that has a long edge retention meaning you can spend more time carving and less time sharpening. The steel is also very tough and corrosion resistant. The sharpened and honed double bevel blade is mounted in a solid Japanese white oak handle that is shaped to fit perfectly in the hand for ultimate cutting control. ©
