Kanetsune Urushi, Japanese Precision

The Kanetsune Urushi is one of those knives that take your breath away. I don’t know if my little blog post will do it much justice, but don’t blame me for trying.
The Kanetsune Urushi has a traditional Japanese lacquer finish that is beyond words. The finish is well done and should last forever unless you plan on gutting pigs with it. Let’s not do that.
The knife handle is constructed from oak wood and has a metal hilt that is wrapped with black cord. This is all done with a master’s touch; very nice.
I don’t own one personally, yet. But, I’m leaning towards the Urushi to add to my little collection. It’s a beautiful knife and would make an excellent addition to my wall of blades.Thanks for stopping by once again. Before you go, here are a few of the Urushi stats.
- Blade Detail: Plain
- Blade Length (inches): 4.73
- Blade Material: Blue Steel, 15 Layer Damascus
- Carry System: Wooden Sheath
- Handle Material: Oak w/Black Cord
- Overall Length (inches): 9.45
Take Care,
Cole

I bought one of these beautiful knives (w/ 3.75″ blade) a couple of months ago as a hunting knife. Gutted and skinned an elk with it last week and it performed amazingly. It’s as sharp now as when I got it. Grip feels great and if you think the cord wrapping looks good in the pictures you should see it in person. Peace.
