Japanese Kiridashi Knife KAKURI Fixed Blade Silver

Description

Product Overview

The KAKURI Japanese Kiridashi knife is a traditional hand‑forged tool crafted in Japan. Its 1.9‑inch (4.8 cm) single‑bevel blade combines high‑carbon steel with a soft iron backing, creating a laminated structure that resists breakage and holds an edge longer. The hammered silver handle, made from the same high‑carbon steel, offers a textured grip that reduces slippage during intricate work. Weighing just 3.5 oz (0.22 lb) and measuring 7.3 inches overall, the knife balances perfectly for precision tasks.

Usage

Designed for woodworkers, bamboo artisans, leather crafters, and hobbyists, this Kiridashi excels at making incisions, marking lines, shaving surfaces, and deburring small pieces. Whether you are carving detailed patterns, trimming excess material, or preparing leather edges, the knife provides controlled, clean cuts. Its dishwasher‑safe construction ensures easy cleanup after extensive workshop sessions.
