## Description

This Japanese kiridashi knife excels at many things. It can be used for woodworking, leatherwork, and paper crafts, and can also be used as a general utility knife. Thanks to its very slim profile and ultra sharp tip, it can make precision cuts. The knife blade is made of carbon steel, and the grip and sheath are made of brass. The sheath and grip are simply a sheet of brass folded and crimped on one edge, and the blade fits snugly in the sheath. The overall feel of the knife extremely slim and compact. Stamped on one side is the phrase "Pen an to" or "pennant". the maker of the Pen an to considers it a "Championship" worthy knife, thus the word "pennant". the company Yoshiharu Hamono has been in business for over 60 years, and is currently run by its 4th generation family members. The family has a history of crafting tools dating back over 100 years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the blade only beveled on one side?**
A: It is a single bevel

**Q: does the steel hold an edge well?**
A: Yes

**Q: can the blade be sharpened or replaced?**
A: Although I haven't had a need to sharpen the blade, I think it can be done.  The blade does not look like it can be replaced.  It is fused to the handle.

**Q: Could this be an effective self defense knife?**
A: It is made to be a marking / carving knife for carpentry and woodworking.
It could be effective for self defense because it is very thin and could be hidden easily.
