Kiridashi Woodcarving Knife - Lefty

Description:  

A traditional all-purpose knife used for woodworking and bamboo crafting for the LEFT-HANDED. Comes in a handle and scabbard made of Hoh (magnolia). The blade is beveled only on one side, creating a thinner edge compared to a knife beveled on both sides, which allows extremely fine cuts. Also, only the beveled side requires the main sharpening so less time is required for maintenance.

Variation:

Variation in the natural wood grain. Knives that are not hammered but manually forged employ metals such as pre-bonded steel. They are shaped by pressing devices holding the Kiridashi knife molds. This results in a few varieties in terms of size and weight.

History: 

Baishinshi is a brand produced by a blacksmithing family who has been forging carving knives and chisels for more than 250 years. Currently the 7th generation took over as "Baishinshi Kunimitsu", the family blacksmith name.
