Seriously. I have never had anything this sharp in my hands before, it really is incredible. However, I must say that the sheath it comes with is made from a flimsy, transparent, plastic (last pic). This knife would cut through in a split second, no pun intended… Plus being so flimsy it sticks together, and being transparent… anyway, you get the idea: putting it back on can be a bit tricky, to say the least. In reality, it’s just plain dangerous. Again, this knife is sharper that a razor, and any miss would result in predictably painful consequences. So, as you can see in the photos, I made a hard cap for it using my 3D printer. File is available on Thingiverse. Search for "Kiridashi cap" In no way a diss to the knife itself (quite the contrary if you think about it) and by no means a reason not to buy it. Just be warned. I myself am planning on buying the other available models just because I can’t believe the quality for the price, and you never have enough knives anyway… Am I right? Review: Useful, Multipurpose, Good Looking... - Ordered this for a specific use, marking wood for the saw, and have found it useful for many other things not related to woodworking (like precise paper cutting and sharpening pencils for example). So useful. Much more comfortable to use than the standard "hobby knife". Can sharpen and reuse so no used blades to deal with. Plus, it looks good! Recommend keeping this oiled to prevent rust. Comes already sharpened so be careful. I bought the one with the curved handle and have found it more comfortable, with greater control and leverage. This is strictly a matter of taste however. ## Features - [JAPANESE KIRIDASHI KNIFE] A versatile traditional Japanese craft knife for woodworking, marking, scribing, carving, whittling, bamboo craft, leatherwork, bookbinding, paper trimming, and precision cutting. - [RAZOR-SHARP JAPANESE STEEL] Hand-forged laminated blade combines hard Japanese steel with soft iron for excellent sharpness and easy sharpening.

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). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly sharp! *by P***O on May 28, 2021* Insanely sharp!

So useful. Much more comfortable to use than the standard "hobby knife". Can sharpen and reuse so no used blades to deal with. Plus, it looks good! Recommend keeping this oiled to prevent rust.

This is strictly a matter of taste however. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it *by T***N on July 23, 2021* I don't write reviews, but this item was so exceptional I felt compelled. I have a lot of tools, and I make a lot of things, but I have NEVER experienced a tool that was this enjoyable to use. This thing strips through wood like a peeler skins a potato. It's almost scary how easily the blade moves through the wood (like, this would for sure take a finger off if you were careless). The thickness and curvature of the steel feels great in the hand (I have 'averaged' size hands, so if you've got big 'ol bear paws get a wider blade). Sharpens very easily (due to the blade shape and grind) with a whetstone. This one is a "buy it for life", folks. 10/10. If you do any kind of wood working at all, do yourself a favor and spend $20 on this blade. You will not regret it. ## Frequently Bought Together - KAKURI Kiridashi Knife 12mm (Curved) Right Hand for Woodworking, Marking, Carving, Whittling, Professional Hand Forged Razor Sharp Japanese Carbon Steel Blade with Hammered Pattern, Made in JAPAN - KAKURI Kiridashi Knife 18mm Right Hand for Woodworking, Marking, Scribing, Carving, Whittling, Professional Hand Forged Razor Sharp Japanese Carbon Steel Blade with Hammered Pattern, Made in JAPAN - KAKURI Kiridashi Knife 12mm Right Hand for Woodworking, Marking, Scribing, Carving, Whittling, Professional Hand Forged Razor Sharp Japanese Carbon Steel Blade with Hammered Pattern, Made in JAPAN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/212665611-kakuri-curved-kiridashi-knife-12mm-right-handed-woodworking-marking-knife](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/212665611-kakuri-curved-kiridashi-knife-12mm-right-handed-woodworking-marking-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
