Kiridashi Leather Knife
Inspired by a traditional Japanese Kiridashi. A fine tip for detailed work; generous, rounded handle and choil for comfort; jimping on the spine to ensure a firm, safe grip; curved handle to keep your working hand away from the leather; the polished 15 degree edge glides easily through 10oz leather; handsome and hard-wearing oiled hardwood handle; made in 52100 carbon steel - tough and easy to get razor sharp with just a few strokes on a strop. This knife is indispensible for leatherwork.
