Perfect for carving, grafting, prying, or simply for everyday tasks, the Kiridashi is the ideal tool for one. Traditionally, the Kiridashi knives are used for carving wood. The name ‘Kiridashi’ means ‘to carve out’ in Japanese. ‘Ittoryu’ translates to a technique that employs the usage of older iron as the cladding material which on refining gives a wood grain finish.
With a much different edge orientation and lots of leverage at the tip and edge, Kiridashi knives can cut through almost anything. Hand-forged from special stainless steel with the use of traditional forging methods that have been passed from one generation to the next in Japan, perfect quality is assured.
The knives are small and portable with a total length of about 180mm, a width of 21mm, and a thickness of 3mm. The weld possesses a different material on both sides of the blade. Mild, ductile steel on the outside reinforces the harder steel on the inside. The Kiridashi knives with slight bevels on the sides are the most sold ones. The knives with bevels on the right side, the left side, and at both sides are the best as they possess better and efficient sharpness and strength.
