This is not a prison shank. It's called a kogatana which loosely translates to "little knife." We have a thing for fun and functional knives that scream personality, and the Okeya Kuri Kogatana ranks right up there with the best of them.
These knives are used as general purpose utility knives for working people on the go that need a blade for work or recreation. The construction is a hammer forged san-mai style cladding of Shirogami 2 steel hagane with a soft stainless steel jigane. The cladding then receives a really great looking pebble finish. Talk about character! The simple oval ho wood handle mates perfectly with the encluded saya for a mini katana sword-like feel at a super low price.
It’s amazing that the artisans at Okeya can come up with a knife using such high end materials, great looks, and grinds at such a bargain price. We love it, and think you will too.Brand: Okeya

it was love at first sight with this knife, and when i read the cktg description of it, i was even more charmed. very cool knife. larger than i expected, but super dreamy nonetheless. i want to bring it with me everywhere. i love the single bevel. super quality, esp for the price. if you're disappointed in this knife, then you're boring.
