Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
Protection & care for this knife
We recommend the 270mm magnolia sujihiki saya or a sujihiki size blade guard for this knife.
Meet the maker
Takumi Ikeda
The Kumo range has been made for many years by master blacksmith Anryu san but with his retirement at the start of 2021, production of this line passed to his nephew, former apprentice and highly skilled blacksmith Takumi Ikeda who continues to make the knives in the same way.
