Their strong ties to the sea and the cuisine they developed from it prove the need for dependable tools that can withstand the rigors of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMakiri knives have a strong maritime history, particularly with the Ainu fishermen of the Noto Peninsula, Northern Ishikawa Prefecture. The seafaring men counted on this austere-looking knife for a number of tasks while on boat: rope cutting, cutting nets to proper sizes, and, of course, butchering fish. However, it played a more central role in day-to-day life. It was, in essence, their EDC. Whatever needed cutting was dealt with using a makiri.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife can be used for a wide variety of tasks in an outdoor and camping context. Its robust geometry permits so. It is capable of preparing fruits and vegetables and is particularly well-suited to fish and game. This is technically a single bevel knife with an ura (hollow ground backside) so deba butchery techniques transfer over quite well. Removing sinew on game and livestock meats is an easy task akin to using a hankotsu. The bevel is aggressively convexed and therefore has a toughness not common to single bevel knives. You can count on this knife for light woodwork and bushcraft tasks like whittling and feathersticking as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Gesshin Magomitsu makiri come with robust and very well made vegetable-tanned leather sheaths. Double-stitched, riveted, and thick, it can withstand the rigors of an outdoor lifestyle. No doubt, it will patina and look better over time. It also has an interesting design for the belt loop; it doubles as the locking mechanism for the knife. The belt loop swivels over the top of the handle to lock it in place while the knife is worn on-belt. To access the knife, rotate the sheath and pull the knife out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Makiri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #2 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.17mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.33mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.29mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 197g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fukube Kaji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40810193059901,"sku":"GMAGMAKIRISAKUB2WT","price":355.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A2480.jpg?v=1717807875","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/makiri-with-blue-2-and-noto-wa-tetsu-cladding","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
