Kanetsune Kiridashi

Kiridashi knives are one of the most widely used shapes in Japanese history. Its simple design has been used in virtually every area of life - from everyday, small tasks such as strings and letters, through technical wood carving, leather cutting and pencil sharpening, to the kitchen art of sasagiri. Traditionally, they were made of carbon steel and sharpened on one side - today, there are many varieties of kiridashi, including folding knives and stainless steel knives. It is a shape that will work well as both a utility knife and an interesting model for a collection.
