HACHIEMON Japanese Kiridashi Knife for Leatherwork and Woodworking, Razor Sharp Japanese Steel Blade, Made in JAPAN

Nice, simple and sharp. Quick run on my strop as I do with all new blades and it was popping hairs off my arm

After using my exacto blade,daily at work for 27 years. For light and heavy use, trying to make them last, until they would snap. I bought this blade, I fumbled around with it for a couple days with large hands. It is now my go to.

This is VERY sharp, very compact, and holds and edge fairly well. However, the product I received is not like the one pictured. The product photo shows a black tang and the description says carbon steel (which is what I wanted). I received a stainless steel knife. Which, while still useful, has different properties and care requirements, so buyers should be aware of the discrepancy.

This knife might work fine for lots of people, i liked that it was slim, but the grip to get things exactly were you want them isn't great in my hands. It wasn't comfortable and the couple of times i did try to use it i ended up going over my markings with a box cutter.

This item is generally used to mark lines on wood or other soft materials in place of the inks or chalks used in the West. It is less than $15.00 and is handmade in Japan. There are no complaints with this little knife!

I bought this thinking the handle was a solid piece it’s sheet that is folded and wrapped. It’s not bad in any way and is very nice for the money.
