Palosanto Japanese Style Knife (High Speed Steel)

Very Sharp edge

One of the biggest draws for me with this Skiving knife is the hardness of the steel. I have had this for 6 months and have had to take it to a stone only once (after I dropped it). For most of my needs with cutting skiving, a straight forward stropping on leather has been more than sufficient! I highly recommend this knife if you can find catch it before they sell out. Excellent tool to have.

Best Japanese style knife out there! Arrived super sharp and I’m glad was able to acquire one of the beautifully made palosanto knives

I got the Bubinga 36mm and it’s stupid sharp when I took out of the packaging box. Very nice weight on the handle but personally I feel the ends of the handles could have been smoothed out more, nonetheless it has a very nice feel in hand. Another fantastic tool and the price point is justified for what you’re getting. Would recommend to anyone who’s on the fence about purchasing this knife. Very beautiful to look at and to hold when cutting or skiving.

Stupid sharp out of the box. The edge on it is really nice and clean. I've been using this knife non stop for the past few weeks, just strop it. Beyond that, it has a great weight and feel and a very useful size blade. I'm really excited about the value of this knife. My only complaint is that the handle and its sharp edges. On the flip side, its is super easy to sand down and contour the handle to your preference.
