Kiridashi Knife Jpanese Pocket Knife Wooden Handle with Sheath Seki Japan

It is pretty ergonomic. And the blade is sharp and ready to use. The whole thing looks so exquisite! I love it!

The blade is sharp and very easy to push through my graphite pencil casings to expose a very long lead without breaking the leads. I find it easier to push through the wood casing versus an exacto knife. I use an artist sanding block to bring the lead to a point. The blade cover makes the knife easy to store

This is a MASTERPIECE. Solid and perfect cunstruction, perfect size and hand feel. The wood handle is solid and beautiful, the cap snap snug and firm for security storage. The price is a deal. Thanks!!!

Nice and sharp a pleasure to carve with would definitely endorse and recommend

Not quite as expected, still, a very serviceable tool.

Picked this up for making leather goods. Cuts through 5-6oz leather without flinching. It's a small inexpensive knife. The handle/sheath is plastic. But it's good steel, and nice and sharp. I own several kiridashis, and bought this for my wife since the sheath makes it a little safer and easier to use. It's a good knife. Great for crafts.

I overlooked the fact that this Kiridashi was hollow ground on the tapered side of the single edged blade! It came sharp out of the box and I had it scary sharp in about 10 minutes of final finishing and stropping! The difference between Japanese quality and the Chinese junk which is on the market today is astounding There was a time when I thought little of Japanese tools until I bought a few and found out that they were, in fact, well made, well tempered, and made of quality high carbon steel and last many times longer, before needing immediate attention with re-sharpening and/or stropping than the Chinese copies. For the price, this kiridashi is one of the very best in my collection of daily used cutting tools in my leather shop today!

Good Morning, I am a professional furniture designer and over the years have switched from using a pencil to mark my lines to scribing with various Japanese Marking Tools and this one from Gifu is a terrific addition to my collection of Japanese tools and marking devices! A terrific little knife, well-made and well packaged!

Great product for the cost. I honed the back, and the bevel, putting a mirror finish. Went from sharp to scary sharp.
