This small draw knife has a laminated steel blade that cuts smoothly and retains an edge through the hardest woods. It is made in Japan in the same way that Samauri Swords are made by laminating many payers of steel together.
The handles are 1-1/4-in x 5/8-in oblong Japanese White Oak and the unfinished wood is very comfortable to hold. The handles are 3-3/4-in long and are canted off the straight blade at a 45-degree angle.
