Yoshiharu Hamono Wooden Handled Kiridashi Marking Knife

If you find unhandled kiridashi a little bit awkward to hold, check out this kiridashi that comes with a wooden handle and a sheath.

Forged from the traditional laminated steel and capable of almost any cutting or carving task, it will quickly become your constant workshop companion. The ideal addition to every woodworker’s kit, from enthusiast to professional.

Utility knives are absolutely essential. Whether you are a hand-tool purist or a machine-head, or somewhere in between, you’ll always need a sharp workshop knife within reach. But disposable snap-off blades are wasteful and expensive over the long run. They’re also flimsy and hard to control in anything but the gentlest of jobs.

The Japanese solution is the kiridashi. A single-bevel utility knife with a controllable, stiff blade that will open all your boxes, mark out your joinery, tidy up your tenons, whittle your flutes… and might even make you a cup of tea!

The WB-400 has a laminated, hollow-ground blade that is set into a handsome hardwood handle. The blade is protected by a durable sheath – perfect for your more ‘challenging’ workshop environments!
