Kanetsune Fixed Blade 612 18

I bought this as an afterthought whilst setting myself up to carve with a Mora 106 to use alongside my Nic Westerman curved blade. I didn't know what I was going to use it for but at this price it was worth the look. Over the last few months I have made several spoons by cutting the rough shape with a carving axe and finishing with the knives and I have to say I use the Kanetsune as much as the Mora. The Kanetsune is easy to sharpen, ( I use water stones 400,1000,3000,8000 grits and finish with a leather strop and fine white stropping compound from www.hewnandhone.co.uk) and will keep its edge almost as well as the laminated Mora. It is very useful to achieve a flat or convex surface and complements the Mora well. Comfortable to use and well protected in its sheath, delivery by Heinnie was rapid as usual. A delightful discovery.

I've looked at this knife several times; I like the look and idea of a Kiridashi knife for food prep. Ordered yesterday p.m., arrived this a.m. and it is exactly as described. I'm very happy and looking forward to lunch! One star dropped as the "sheath" is very loose. Not a real problem as the knife will be living in my utensil drawer

I was so intrigued by the unusual featured of this knife that I just simply had to have one! As it's steel is a good carbon one, this made it even more appealing. Blade was razor sharp, a paper cutting test confirmed this. It's an ideal little knife to have around the home, for those light cutting tasks. Don't be put off by the chisel grind as I nearly was. For the price, it's indeed a good little fixed blade knife.

A bargain @ only a tenner. Chisel sharpened on one side only but this is not a problem in practice. Great for wood carving & comes shaving sharp otb. Holds well in the cherry wood scabbard which could be better if it matched the shape of the handle. The only thing I'm not too sure about is 'bolster' which appears to be plastic but I don't think that matters Too much at this low price. Unusual knives normally cost Much more than this so this is a bargain for use or to add to your collection. Recommended.

This is a rather unassuming little knife so for a tenner I wasn't expecting much. However, it turned out to be surprisingly good, if not excellent in its functionality. Razor sharp right from the off, the blade is excellent, and holds an edge really well. It is also easy to hone. I liked it so much I spent an hour rubbing the wood down to a really fine finish, and I gave it a few coats of Danish oil and a good buff up which has really made a difference, giving it a rich colour and prominent grain. Of course that was not necessary for what is effectively a toolbox knife, but it deserved it. I'll be adding another to my next heinnie order, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of them.

Picked this up as a Tree present for Christmas, It's such a cool little blade, very sleek and seriously sharp. Amazing delivery service from HH as always. 10/10 on all fronts!

This is one of those knives , that everyone should have in there tool box or fishing box. As for me I use it for crafting as it feels great in the hand when doing lots of fine cuts.

I have this myself nice easy to sharpen but holds edge well, I've used every day for about 2 years good craft knife I work with leather and wood has pateena but doesn't get chance to rust as in use all the time good buy recommend

Would have given 5 *. Got two of these, one as a present, but after 3 days the knife cover which at first held well, now drops off. Now I'll have to unpack the one intended as a present and see if the cover also goes slack. The knife arrives packed air tight. So maybe the wood reacts to different climate.? The blade and hold on the handle is superb. Just be ready to glue in a sliver to make the cover grip again.
