If you would prefer that your kiridashi feel more like a carving knife, we suggest a size 18mm or larger. All take a magnificent edge, but if you would like your knife to take on extra duties such as carving and tuning the corners of your joints, the larger sizes will prove more useful as they have longer cutting edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, consider whether you are right or left handed, and choose the option below accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that, as with all Japanese chisels and planes, flattening the back of a kiridashi will bring it to a higher level of accuracy and sharpness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 120mm\u003cbr\u003eThickness: 2mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baishinshi","offers":[{"title":"Right \/ 9mm","offer_id":45907912687839,"sku":"TA-4314","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right \/ 12mm","offer_id":45907912720607,"sku":"TA-4315","price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right \/ 15mm","offer_id":45907912753375,"sku":"TA-4316","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right \/ 18mm","offer_id":45907912786143,"sku":"TA-4317","price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right \/ 21mm","offer_id":45907912818911,"sku":"TA-4318","price":73.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Right \/ 24mm","offer_id":45907912851679,"sku":"TA-4319","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Left \/ 9mm","offer_id":45907912884447,"sku":"TA-4321","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left \/ 12mm","offer_id":45907912917215,"sku":"TA-4322","price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Left \/ 15mm","offer_id":45907912949983,"sku":"TA-4323","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Left \/ 18mm","offer_id":45907912982751,"sku":"TA-4324","price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Left \/ 21mm","offer_id":45907913015519,"sku":"TA-4325","price":73.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Left \/ 24mm","offer_id":45907913048287,"sku":"TA-4326","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left \/ 30mm","offer_id":45907913081055,"sku":"TA-4327","price":77.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0122\/9422\/products\/baishinshi-kiridashi-ta-4308-japanese-tools-australia-913799.png?v=1701233236"},{"product_id":"hss-shinobi-knife-right","title":"HSS Shinobi Knife - Right","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful tool can pull double duty as a marking or a carving knife.
