Review: Incredibly sharp! - Insanely sharp! 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?

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 28 May 2021* Insanely sharp!

Love the awesome blade and it fit nicely in the hand . Love it curve. Most of all it carve smoothly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent scribe *by S***E on 14 August 2021* Excellent woodworking scribe. Yes, I'll use it as a utility blade once in a while, but the main purpose is the precise scribe line. I thought the curvature might make a 4' scribe line more comfortable, and it does. In addition, the curvature adds an organic element that my hand prefers on a reach. Japanese tool steel. Razor sharpened. Delivers a wonderful thin scribe line out of the package. The steel will hold the same edge through many resharpenings. Better than expected. ## 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.tn/products/287560804-japanese-kiridashi-carving-knife-bend-type-japanese-hammered-carbon-steel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/287560804-japanese-kiridashi-carving-knife-bend-type-japanese-hammered-carbon-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
