Okada Tools Japanese Knife 36mm Straight
The Okada Tools Japanese Knife 36mm Straight is an authentic Japanese tool crafted by the renowned Tetsuya Okada of Tokyo, Japan, a master artisan known for his dedication to quality and precision. Made from Hitachi Aogami Super Steel, this knife offers an incredibly sharp edge, perfect for cutting and skiving all types of leather with ease and accuracy.

This 36mm straight blade features a Tsuchime type finish, which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also enhances the cutting performance. The knife is ready to use right out of the box, with a razor-sharp edge that allows for precise and smooth cuts.

Tetsuya Okada, a skilled craftsman with a deep understanding of the art of leatherwork, shared his insight 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.”

The Okada Tools Japanese Knife was developed with tireless trial and error over several years, ensuring the highest quality. The process included close collaboration with blacksmiths, resulting in a tool that combines tradition, craftsmanship, and the best materials.

The 36mm straight blade is versatile and can be used for a variety of leatherworking tasks, from precise cutting to skiving, ensuring smooth edges and clean results every time.
