About Makiri Knives:

The Makiri (マキリ) is a traditional Japanese utility knife that originated in the northern regions of Japan, particularly Hokkaido and among fishermen and hunters.
Historically, it was used for various outdoor tasks such as:

• Cleaning and filleting fish

• Processing game

• Carving wood

• General survival and utility work

Makiri knives are known for their simple, sturdy design, typically featuring:

• A single bevel edge for precise cutting

• A straight blade with a slightly curved tip

• Lightweight and compact construction for portability

• Often accompanied by a custom-fitted wooden sheath or case

Today, Makiri knives are appreciated both as functional outdoor tools and collectible traditional blades, especially when signed by a known blacksmith or knife maker.
