A partially serrated carbon steel sickle knife, with a tape splitting hook to the back, and a poplar handle. Incredibly sharp both to the flat and the serrated sections of the blade these are by intent used to open and break down cardboard boxes, the small hook ideal for ripping through tape without damaging contents, whilst the blade makes short work breaking down for recycling. Also ideal as a small and handy harvesting knife or light pruning sickle. Like many Japanese tools these are carbon steel and can rust if left wet or stored damp, and are best lightly oiled if left for extended periods. About 25cm overall length and with a blade of approximately 12cm.

Care Advice

Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
