Originally created to help teach children how to safely use and handle small knives for crafting and jobs like sharpening pencils but they're incredibly versatile around the house and workshop

this knife performs every bit as well as it looks and Kurosaki-san's work on this range is rightfully popular and in high demand

Every inch of this sakimaru sujihiki is a work of art

The kiritsuke tip nakiri is a real high performance statement piece from Nigara Hamono

All in all it's a lovely little package that performs as well as it looks
