Knife Country USA proudly unveils the Kanetsune Irodori Knives, a collection that transcends the boundaries of traditional cutlery and enters the realm of art. Each Irodori knife is a celebration of the storied Japanese heritage of knife-making, an ode to the meticulous craftsmanship that Kanetsune has honed over generations. The Irodori series, meaning "colorful" in Japanese, is aptly named, reflecting the vibrant culture and the beauty of the knives’ meticulous details.

The sole offering in this series at Knife Country USA, the Kanetsune Irodori Fixed Blade Knife, is not merely a knife but a piece of tradition crafted to perfection.

Irodori Fixed Blade Knife (Model/Item/Part - KB207) - This exquisite knife boasts a 9 1/2" overall length with a 5" 15 layer Damascus blue steel blade. The Damascus steel is renowned not only for its exceptional sharpness and edge retention but also for the striking patterns that ripple across the blade, reminiscent of flowing water. The oak handle, finished with a vibrant red lacquer, adds a touch of elegance and is a nod to the Japanese art of Urushi, an ancient technique that enhances the wood’s durability and beauty. Accompanied by a traditional wooden sheath, this knife is as much a display piece as it is a practical tool for culinary ventures.
