The blade is crafted from laminated Aogami #2 steel (also known as Blue Steel), a high-carbon steel known for its exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The blade features a tsuchime (hammered) finish, which not only adds a unique handcrafted appearance but also helps reduce friction during cutting by minimizing surface contact. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe knife has a single-bevel edge—sharpened only on one side—which results in a thinner and more precise cutting edge than a double-beveled blade. The single bevel makes this knife perfect for right-handed individuals. This design is especially useful for making extremely fine, detailed cuts. For safety and stability during use, the blade locks securely into place when fully opened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Measurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 9.5\"\u003cbr\u003eBlade length: 4.75\"\u003cbr\u003eBlade width: 1\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1953 under the name Ikeuchi Kogatana, Ikeuchi Hamono has been handcrafting high-quality Japanese knives for over 70 years. In 1996, the company adopted its current name but remained true to its roots—continuing the legacy of making traditional kogatana (small utility knives) with precision and care. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIkeuchi Hamono combines time-honored craftsmanship with modern techniques to create blades that are trusted by professional artisans in Japan and around the world.

Each blade is unique—just like a fingerprint—reflecting the care and expertise of the artisan behind it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, Ikeuchi Hamono knives are especially popular among woodworkers, craft enthusiasts, and campers both in Japan and abroad.
