High Carbon Steel Utility Knives That Look Like Whales

Whale E

Japanese blacksmith Toru Yamashito crafted a set of high carbon steel utility knives made to look like five different types of whales. A round humpback whale or a sleek sperm whale can sharpen pencils, open letters and perform other tasks in and around the house, while camping or just for simple everyday use.

Kujira Whale Knives are hand forged Multi Purpose Utility knives that have a Virgin High Carbon White Steel #2 inner core with a “Kurouchi” Black Forged finish and handle. Famed for their playful and imaginative whale shaped handles and their durable edge retentive blades these unique knives are sure to be a conversation piece.
