Tetsuya Okada shares his thoughts on the knife’s development:
“The artisan bag makers I worked for sharpened knives many times a day. The teacher was left-handed, so I set up a slightly shorter table on the left side of my workbench and placed the whetstone on it. If it gets a bit dull, sharpen it several times. I remember that. Not everyone can do that, so we ask you to use super steel blue paper, which has an edge that sticks to leather and has a long blade.”
This 20mm oblique blade is designed for professionals who need a precise tool for cutting detailed designs, making it perfect for leatherworkers focused on high-accuracy work. The knife comes razor-sharp and is ready to be used right out of the box.
