How to Choose Japanese Carving Knives
Choosing the right carving knife starts with deciding your main tasks: detailed woodwork, cabinetry, or sculpture. Single bevel blades provide precise control browse Kiridashi knives for marking and fine cuts.
Next, assess steel type. High carbon and SG2 powdered steels deliver sharp edges and long edge holding but need careful maintenance. See our Explore Care Guide. Forging methods also differ. Honyaki produces a hard mono steel blade with visible hamon. Tsukehagane offers layered strength with a forge welded core. Learn about steel types.
