Description

It's equally at home in the workshop or on the desktop - it sharpens pencils to perfection. Only 4-1/4" long folded.

"Nice pocket knife"
"top quality"
"This is an excellent everyday knife for me. This is the second one I bought - I lost the first! Thin in the pocket, feels great, very sharp and easy to open."
"Case: 登録商標(the first four small characters): ""Registered Trademark"" 肥後守: ""Governor of Higo"" (The company, so-named in honor of the lord of the province where the knife originated) 定駒: ""Kanekoma"" (the mark of the knife's maker) Blade: 青紙: ""Blue Paper"" (The extremely high quality steel used in the blade) 割込: ""Warikomi"" (The forging method; in this case, a hard steel spine clad in softer steel outer layers) As for the knife, it embodies everything that is remarkable about Japan: the same method used for over 100 years, simple, reliable, excellent materials and craftsmanship, and absurdly affordable for the level of quality. This is one of those products (and there are many made in Japan), that I feel humbled and grateful to even have the opportunity to handle, much less own."
"This knife is fun, not fancy. I like the simplicity of the design, like something made a hundred years ago to be inexpensive and functional. The blade is razor sharp, and I like being able to see the lamination line. It has been lightly used for opening packages and such, and is holding an edge well. I did glue a small piece of leather inside the case where the edge might touch and I'm ready to roll. I would like to have a translation of the characters stamped in the case."
"Sharp! As expected"
"I love the craftsmanship and simplicity of this knife. The blade cuts the way it was designed and I use this as a useful tool to sharpen my pencil when needed. I like that the blade opens slow and methodically."
"Such a well made and sharp knife. I bought 2 of them."
"Great knife for the price. Slim - nice in the hand. Good quality a comes very sharp."
"I have not had it that long. Has worked like it's supposed to. I like the simplicity of it, that was why I bought it. I have not needed to cut anything robust yet and have only used it opening packages."
