Kiridashi-knife

So I continue with knife stuff. This time I want to introduce you asian style utility blade called "kiridashi".
It´s made by my good friend from Bush ´n Blade blog.

Blade is one solid piece of high carbon steel (from old file). Handle is made from paracord inner strands under and outer cover on top and tied same way than in traditional samurai swords.

Edge is chisel ground and really razor sharp with polished bevels and it´s straight side is a little bit convexed that you hardly notice it.

Sheath was not included cause I wanted to make my own, maybe necker type of sheath..Let´s see.

I don´t have much user experience from it yet, but it feels like very good all round cutter.

  1. That's very similar to what would be called a "skew" knife.

    1. Yes like a skew-knife. And it´s also commonly used like small utility cutter for carving works etc. I think.
