FGL020 Sheath & Kotoh VG10 Padauk Burr

The Kotoh VG10 folder is built for the kind of days that start before sunrise and end with woodsmoke on your jacket. The Kotoh pocket knife is handmade on Japan’s Kyushu island by craftsman Yoshimi Kotoh, light in the pocket, steady in the hand, and ready for the small jobs that keep camp running: cord, kindling, lunch prep, and the hundred little cuts in between.

The blade is made from VG10 steel for exceptional sharpness and durability, while padauk burr wood handle adds comfortable grip. Each handle has its own grain and color, so every knife comes out a little different, the way it should.

Comes with hand-stitched sheath featuring thicker, more durable stitching with beeswaxed linen thread. Thanks to the backside loop, it attaches easily to your Leather Belt.

Consider adding Free Bespoke Monogram as simple mark of ownership.

FGL020 Sheath & Kotoh VG10 Padauk Burr

Kotoh Blade

Manufactured from rust-resistant VG-10 steel with additional softer alloys, ensuring a forgiving blade that is less prone to chipping while maintaining a sharp and enduring edge.

Hand-stitched Sheath

Reinforced hand-stitch construction made with beeswax-coated linen thread, which allows for thicker, unfailing stitches that a machine can’t replicate.

Made in Japan

Handcrafted on Japan’s Kyushu island in the workshop of Yoshimi Kotoh, this knife carries forward the hard-earned tradition of Japanese blacksmithing.
