History and Craftsmanship:

Kakuri has been producing tools in Sanjo City, a region with a long history of metalworking, since 1946. The area is renowned for its skilled artisans and refined forging techniques passed down through generations. Kakuri continues this legacy by combining traditional methods with modern needs, ensuring their tools are both functional and reflect the dedication to craftsmanship that Sanjo is known for. Their tools often feature high-carbon steel blades for sharpness and durability, and handles made from sturdy wood like Japanese red oak, which are often hand-finished for a comfortable grip.

This Kakuri Kit would make a perfect introduction to Japanese tools.

Note: Although the kit is unused it shows some age due to long term storage.
