## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come sharpened for a left handed person?**
A: No, it is for a right-handed person only, unless you want to carve towards yourself (and not be able to use your opposite thumb for support).

**Q: Can i get just the main side sharpened? Not the back? The back flat?**
A: it is only sharpened on one side. The other is completely flat

**Q: Is there a sheath to store the knife in safely?**
A: It comes with a flimsy, transparent plastic sheath (see my photos). However, if you have acess to a 3D printer, I made a hard cap for it. File is available on Thingiverse. Search for "Kiridashi cap"

**Q: Would this be an appropriate knife to use for kolrosing?**
A: I can’t say for sure as this is the first time I’ve ever heard of kolrosing. The knife is extremely sharp and in my experience holds an edge well. However, it is made to cut along only one edge (If you hold a straight edge with your left hand and use your right hand to scribe a line using the right edge of the straight edge it is great. However, it would be very difficult to use the the knife in your left hand on the left side of the straightedge).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super sharp woodworking knife
*by B***E on 18 June 2025*

This blade is super duper sharp and goes through wood like snot through a wet tissue. The only complaint I have is that the handle can get a little uncomfortable after using it for a while on account of it being so slender.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome carving knife
*by L***T on 14 July 2022*

Awesome carving knife. Love the awesome blade and it fit nicely in the hand . Love it curve. Most of all it carve smoothly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent scribe
*by S***E on 14 August 2021*

Excellent woodworking scribe. Yes, I'll use it as a utility blade once in a while, but the main purpose is the precise scribe line. I thought the curvature might make a 4' scribe line more comfortable, and it does. In addition, the curvature adds an organic element that my hand prefers on a reach. Japanese tool steel. Razor sharpened. Delivers a wonderful thin scribe line out of the package. The steel will hold the same edge through many resharpenings. Better than expected.
