It is traditionally used by carpenters and gardeners, but the Kiridashi is perfect for so many everyday tasks: scoring paper, opening boxes, and marking wood. It is said that Japanese schoolchildren would use these knives to sharpen their pencils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnives don't get much more uncomplicated than this one; its single bevel makes it extremely sharp and precise, and it is easy to sharpen and maintain. Above all, we love the ingenious magnolia scabbard that securely slots over the blade, reshaping the Kiridashi into an unassuming, continuous baton. In its scabbard, this knife can be tossed into a toolbox, picnic bag, or kitchen drawer with impunity, knowing it won't come loose or scratch its surroundings. It comes with a handy red leather lanyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged in Miki City, located in Hyogo Prefecture, northwest of Kobe, by a 4th-generation, award-winning knife maker. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a traditional Japanese ni-mai-style clad steel: a hard V2 cutting edge material over a softer iron body. \u003c\/span\u003eNote: this blade is beveled on the user's right side, thus it is intended for right-hand use. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Made Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47592385872102,"sku":"UTLS.1196.260.01","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2985\/9558\/files\/KIRIDASHI-PDP-LAYOUTS3_6a6daf67-845e-48b2-90d5-81fb867da8f8.jpg?v=1780229861"},{"product_id":"otter-messer-pocket-knife","title":"Otter-Messer Pocket Knife","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt's hard to imagine a more timeless pocket knife. One of Otter-Messer's earliest designs and most enduring. Three and a quarter inches of satin-finish carbon steel. A sapele handle with stainless bolsters at either end.
