If a sloyd knife embarked on an extended pilgrimage through Japan, reflecting, fasting and philosophising as it went, we think it would return to Scandinavia looking something like this - a little slimmer in the handle, with a light and functional leather case, and a blade that has been shortened, refined and sharpened to within an inch of it's life with a HSS cutting edge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the key here; the edge. Finding a happy medium between a knife that can take a bevel fine enough for fine finishing cuts while being rugged enough to waste and rough out is no mean feat, and in this little double bevelled beauty we think it may have just been perfected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a few years now the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.japanesetools.com.au\/products\/double-bevel-6mm-carving-knife\"\u003e6mm double bevel carving knife\u003c\/a\u003e has been our go-to carving blade, however, we now expect this to be our most recommended general whittling knife for the foreseeable future. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlade: L35mm x W6mm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandle length: 130mm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michihamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43896401625122,"sku":"MICH-70701000","price":57.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2276\/6819\/files\/JapaneseWhittlingKnifewithLeathercase.jpg?v=1750212341","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.japanesetools.com.au\/products\/japanese-whittling-knife-with-leather-case","provider":"Japanese Tools Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
