Shinobi Tou - Japanese Style Wood Carving Knife

A long-awaited small knife—often called a “kiridashi” in Japanese—used for woodcarving and outdoor activities is now available in high-speed steel (HSS)! We named it the “Shinobi-to” because of its ninja-inspired look.

Why High-Speed Steel? Perfect for a Hardworking Small Knife!

This small knife is frequently used for rough carving in woodcarving work or tough tasks in the outdoors. Its sturdy high-speed steel blade holds an edge longer, making it a reliable companion you’ll turn to again and again. The blade is layered with another steel, so you can sharpen it as needed. We also paid special attention to the blade’s angle, allowing you to push parallel to the cutting direction without dispersing force.

Thoughtful Handle Design

• Curved Handle

  The curved handle design means you don’t have to move your wrist excessively, making long sessions more comfortable.

• Durable Paracord Grip

  We wrapped the handle in paracord for improved slip resistance and a better grip.

  What is Paracord?

  Originally used in parachutes, paracord is lightweight yet strong enough to support a person’s weight, and it’s also water-resistant—perfect for outdoor use!

Includes a Completely Original Leather Case

A custom-designed leather case is included, made from fine-grain vegetable-tanned leather that develops a rich character with use. It’s not just stylish—it’s also designed for superior storage and protection.
