Our Japanese Kiridashi marking knives are of the finest quality, the laminated blades are hammer tone finished on the face and flat ground on the back side to register true against a marking gauge, the back side of the business end also has a slight hollow grind for ease of lapping the back of the blade.

The cutting edge comes to a very fine point and is double bevelled then polished to produce the legendary level of sharpness you expect from a Japanese edge tool.

“Kiridashi knives” are made from “Yasuki-Hagane”, laminated white high carbon steel with an SK steal backing.
