Yoshihiro Shiroko High Carbon Steel Kurouchi Kujira Whale Japanese Utility Knife (Whale A Type)

Kujira Whale Type A is shaped like a sperm whale, with a broad, square head and a short blade that curves to a rounded tip, the gentlest point in the series and handy for spreading, scraping and opening parcels. Like every Kujira, it is one solid piece of black-forged (kurouchi) steel with a wave pattern on the body and a White Steel #2 (Shiroko) core.

The Kujira knife is the perfect camping companion, allowing you to whittle the day away on the back porch. Whether you're slicing off a hunk of cheese at a picnic, paring fruit, or handling small tasks in the kitchen, the Kujira Knife shines with its superior edge retention. This versatile utility knife is excellent for outdoor use and can easily function as a simple woodworking tool, capable of even sharpening a pencil. While carbon steel knives are not stainless, they can provide years of enjoyment with proper care.

With total dimensions of 6.25 inches x 1.5 inches x 0.12 inches and a blade length of 2 inches, the Kujira Whale Knife masterfully combines charm and functionality, making it an essential addition to any knife collection.
