Tosa Minke Whale Knife (Curved Handle)

$58.00

The Tosa Minke Whale Knife (Curved Handle) is a handcrafted whale-shaped knife inspired by the elegant male minke whale, known for its streamlined body and distinctive curved dorsal fin. Forged by skilled Tosa artisans in Kochi, Japan, this knife reflects the centuries-old tradition of Japanese cutlery craftsmanship.

This version features a curved handle, mimicking the flowing lines of the male minke whale’s body, making it both visually striking and comfortable to hold. Ideal for light cutting tasks, peeling, or as a unique collectible, this knife seamlessly blends functionality with artistic charm.

  • Hand-Forged in Japan  Crafted by master Tosa bladesmiths using traditional free-forging techniques.
  • High-Carbon Steel Blade  Made from Shiroko White Steel with a durable kurouchi (black) finish.
  • Whale-Inspired Design  The curved handle mirrors the graceful contours of the male minke whale.
  • Lightweight and Versatile  Perfect for kitchen prep, sharpening pencils, or as a collector’s piece.

This knife is more than just a tool—it’s a celebration of Japanese artistry and the beauty of ocean life.

To prevent rust, clean blades thoroughly after use and wipe them dry. Do not use fire for sterilization; boiling water is recommended. Apply blade maintenance oil or vegetable oil to prevent rust if not used for a while. Store blades wrapped in newspaper to guard against moisture. If blades are in a case, remove them and store them wrapped in newspaper.
