We Say

Forged by hand, these durable carbon-steel whale shaped knives are crafted in the Kochi region of Japan - a place visited often by the sea dwelling creatures. Mr. Toru Yamashita, a blacksmith from the region, originally designed the Kujira Knife as a safer way to cut fruit and vegetables, and as a utility knife for such tasks as sharpening pencils. We also think they make excellent knives for chopping up herbs to add to a meal or delicious cocktail.

Selector's Notes

The Sperm Whale shape is the original of the series. The design came in response to a child's request for a knife that could be used safely, and so Mr. Yamashita created the rounded tip of the knife, which resembled a Sperm Whale. We think the Kujira Knife makes for a particularly unique gift.
