When we visited the Tosa region, we met Komatsu-san and spent some time with him in his workshop. He specializes in outdoor knives, and every time I ask, he does not want to make kitchen knives. However, he's really talented and makes really great knives. So, for a couple of years we've been trying to figure out how we can carry some of his knives since we really want to only focus on knives that can be used for food. This utility knife was our solution. It could make a nice camp knife for food, a utility knife in a kitchen, or a really cool box opener ;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife is forged from blue #2 steel with carbon cladding.  The black finish on the blades is called a kurouchi finish and is the residual scale from the forging process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #2 Carbon\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 Ambidextrous\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 113mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.62mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.97mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.63mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.74mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tosa Ryutsu Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7072691333,"sku":"ZAK100KB2WSR","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/resized_fu9a1113.jpeg?v=1444798680","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/zakuri-100mm-blue-2-kurouchi-damascus-utility-knife-1","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
