Description

These marking knives are forged with laminated shirogami #2 (white paper steel) cutting edges. Available in a range of sizes, they are hollow ground along the length of their back and feature a traditionally textured forged finish on their front.

Kiridashi are designed to be run along a straight edge, scribing lines precisely and severing surface fibres in preparation for sawing or chiseling. As the flat back has to act as a referencing face, these tools need to be selected according to the hand that they will be used in.

In other uses, Kiridashi are often also utilised by carvers, especially in their smaller sizes. in these applications, the location of the bevel is less important.

For best results, lapping the back of a kiridashi flat will give the woodworker access to it's full potential. Although it arrives relatively sharp, it can be honed to a much keener edge than the manufacturer has given it. Please note that sizing measurements are taken across the width of the tool at the start of the bevel - they are not an indication of bevel length.

Marking knives

Excellent. I needed to mark out dovetails on a box I was creating. Using the left hand and right hand markers made this much easier than in the past. I needed to identify the markers and their scabbards but that was easy.

Great starter/practice knives

I got these because I wanted to try out woodcarving without committing too much in case it wasn't for me. But these knives are great and I'm looking forward to using them more!
