Review: Great Japanese Knife - I am a woodcarver and saw this knife while browsing for micro gouges. The knife was a cheap way to experience the quality of Japanese carving tools before I shell out more money on more expensive tools from this supplier. The knife itself is kind of a foreign instrument in the hand due to the nature of the knife. Once I adapted to Japanese style carving knives, it became more comfortable. Not having a wooden handle made it awkward at first. After I saw the versatility of the knife, I was amazed at how useful the tool was. It can cut, slice and score wood for cutting. The blade is very sharp and holds an edge well. The price of this knife is about half of what western and European blade maker sell their knives. As a word of caution, because of the hardness, I do not think this knife would handler being dropped of the work surface without serious damage. Care must be taken with this knife.
Review: Very sharp knife for leather work! - I bought this for leather work. I was originally looking at more expensive versions of this style of knife, but they were out of stock. So I decided to give this a try. I am not disappointed. It came very sharp. So sharp it out did a new exacto knife blade. It is nicely sized. It is easy to strop back to shaving sharp. I would definitely buy this again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ordered a super sharp knife
*by A***R on January 17, 2025*

This knife should be packaged in a case or leather sheath. It is beyond Razor sharp. It is a beautiful marking knife and should last for years. I will drill a hole for a piece of leather to hang it somewhere safe when not in use. My one issue is it did not come with a sharp point, it is rounded slightly. I will (one day) if it causes trouble sharpen to a point. I will also file an indent on the back edge for a finger rest. I would highly recommend anyone needing a good marking knife to consider this one.
