Dokan White Steel Kiridashi Carving Knife With Wooden Handle

This kiridashi carving and grafting knife from Dokan takes a classic Japanese design to the next level. Kiridashi are small, single-bevel blades used for carving, grafting, scoring and other general cutting. They typically don't have handles or sheaths, as it's a traditional tool that was designed a very long time ago.

Dokan has built on the classic design by adding a wooden handle, and allowing the knife to fold. This kiridashi folding knife is about the best approximation of a traditional Japanese pocket knife that you can get. The blade tucks away neatly in the handle so that you won't be accidentally injured.

In addition, the blade itself is forged from white steel, one of the best blade steels available, meaning that it's very sharp, and is very easy to sharpen.

Handmade in the countryside of Miki, Hyogo by blacksmiths with decades of experience, every tool produced by Dokan is made to the highest standards passed down to each generation from the last. Dokan's blacksmiths dedicate themselves to creating user-friendly tools out of quality materials so that their city's legacy of outstanding craftsmanship will continue for decades more.
