Description

Japanese curved carving knife for detailed shaping

The Ikeuchi Mikikichan curved knife is made in Japan for precise carving, shaping, and fine woodwork. Its compact size and curved edge provide control in detailed cuts, from hobby projects to professional craftsmanship. Perth dispatch, shipping Australia wide.

Forged with a carbon steel blade and fitted with a natural wooden handle, this knife balances sharpness, durability, and comfort. The curved grind makes it especially effective for scooping and controlled carving. Lightweight yet sturdy, it is suited for extended use without fatigue.

Maintain by cleaning after each session and lightly oiling the blade to prevent rust. Sharpen on a fine whetstone as needed to retain edge precision. Store in a dry place to extend its working life.

The curved edge allows smooth, controlled cuts where straight blades would struggle.
