What makes Japanese wood carving knives different from standard carving knives?
Japanese wood carving knives are crafted using high-carbon steels and traditional techniques, resulting in blades that stay razor-sharp much longer than standard knives. Their acute bevel geometry (typically 15°–20° angles) allows for smoother, cleaner cuts in both soft and hardwoods, and their lightweight, balanced design gives you superior control for fine detail work.
