What a surprise!!
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!

Great knife for carving in wood
It comes very sharp already. It handles very well when carving. O ordered one left and one right, they are a great pair. Good steel and takes some sharpening.

Ehhhh
As advertised. Sheath is cheap plastic. Blunt (rounded) tip. Very sharp.

6 Starts, very sharp
I'd give this knife 6 stars, already ordered another with the plastic handle. I sharpened the blade closest to the handle that is not part of the sharpened blade, on the opposite side so I can use it when detail carving towards myself instead of having to grab another knife. (See video), yes this is the left handed version. It came very sharp from the seller, I've since sharpened it. It takes an edge very easily and also stays sharp even after a lot of carving wood. This is a steal for Japanese steel.

Yes it's for Lefties but cost more than the exact same knife for right handed users
I picked this item because it's for left-handed use for me. Rather disappointed it cost more than the same right handed knife and thats unfair I believe. I'm gemerally happy with the pirchase.

Great knife for the art box and it's left handed!
Knife is great, SHARP, and well made. Left handed, big brother to the x-acto knives. If I could change one thing, it would be to have a wooden cap. I would have even paid more for it.

This Knife Is Useless; The Blade Is NOT Sharp
I bought this knife to help shave extra wood off pencils that don't sharpen properly. It won't do that. It won't cut cardboard either. It just .. won't cut anything.

Great trim knives for leather. I have both left and right. They arrive very sharp and will hold an edge pretty well. Easy to sharpen as well. Overall I very happy with these knives. I use them as marking knives for woodworking also
