Japanese Carpenter's Knife

(0 Reviews)
  • Folding Design: unlike a traditional fixed-blade kiridashi, this blade folds into the brass handle for safer storage between jobs.
  • Honed and Ready: the laminated carbon-steel blade arrives hardened to Rc60 and honed, ready to cut without extra sharpening.
  • Thumb-Rest Control: an integral thumb rest prevents the blade from closing accidentally and gives a bearing surface for heavy cuts.
  • Hang or Carry: a hole in the handle accepts a lanyard or hook for keeping the knife within reach on a belt or board.

For the curious, the Japanese characters on the handle honor the 17th-century swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.
