The projection of the sheath helps to pull out the blade with one hand. Comforatable partial bolster give protect while allowing you to sharpen the entire blade. Since Japanese craftsmen hand polish the high quality steel one by one, the edge is very sharp. Besides a craft tool for processing wooden/leather products, carving,or creating art work, it's usable as an office supply such as a paper knife Review: 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! Review: It's a decent inexpensive knife. I checked the hardness, and got over 60 Rockwell C which makes me concerned that it will be brittle, but that remains to be seen. The blade had some warp, and it took a while with diamond plate, water stone and strop to flatten and polish the back and bevel. Now I will see how it holds an edge. The handle and blade guard seem adequate. ## Features - The projection of the sheath helps to pull out the blade with one hand. - Comforatable partial bolster give protect while allowing you to sharpen the entire blade. - Since Japanese craftsmen hand polish the high quality steel one by one, the edge is very sharp. - Besides a craft tool for processing wooden/leather products, carving,or creating art work, it's usable as an office supply such as a paper knife. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079ZLJ7YT | | ASIN | B079ZLJ7YT | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #194,784 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #435 in Pocketknives | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Brand Name | Product of Gifu Japan | | Color | Wooden Handle | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (105) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (105) | | Date First Available | 5 November 2018 | | Hand Orientation | Left Hand | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | Sheath | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Length | 6.89 Inches | | Manufacturer | Product of Gifu Japan | | Manufacturer | Product of Gifu Japan | | Manufacturer reference | WB-350 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Product Dimensions | 17.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm; 45 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Carving | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Ergonomic Design | | Style | Craft Knife | | UPC | 191308805791 | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Product of Gifu Japan - **Included components:** Sheath - **Recommended uses for product:** Carving - **Special features:** Ergonomic Design ## Images ![Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife Japanese Steel Blade Wooden Handle with Sheath for Left-handed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GpcYUbjQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by O***Y on 4 September 2023* I overlooked the fact that this Kiridashi was hollow ground on the tapered side of the single edged blade!

I checked the hardness, and got over 60 Rockwell C which makes me concerned that it will be brittle, but that remains to be seen.

Rather disappointed it cost more than the same right handed knife and thats unfair I believe. I'm gemerally happy with the pirchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife Japanese Steel Blade Wooden Handle with Sheath for Left-handed - Left Hand / Japanese/Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife - Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife Japanese Blade Brass Handle with Sheath for Left-handed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/390926451-kiridashi-craft-pocket-knife-japanese-steel-blade-wooden-handle-sheath](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/390926451-kiridashi-craft-pocket-knife-japanese-steel-blade-wooden-handle-sheath) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
