As with any sharp cutting tool there is always the risk of personal injury. Please educate yourself on the proper use of knives and tools in general before any usage. We are not responsible for what you choose to use your knife for.

All carbon based steel will rust if not properly cared for. Handmade knives should never be placed in a dishwasher. Hand clean your knife after each use. Never lay carbon steel knives on a damp surface for long periods. Wipe knife blades clean after use. Keeping the blade dry is the best practice overall. Food grade mineral oils work best if you want to oil the blade. All vegetable and nut oils will get sticky and or rancid over time. Try to avoid these types of oils if you are storing your knife for extended periods. Tung oil or boiled linseed oil can be used on woodens handles and cases as well as wood wax. Always store your hand made knives in a case if possible. Storing any knife in together with other knives can dull/damage them.

Custom and personalized orders

We can and will do custom orders. First, please contact us first so we can work out the details beforehand and determine if we can provide a solution.

Are your knives indestructable?

No, but they are meant to be used daily. Every knife has its purpose. Do not expect a thin knife with a thin point to not bend if you jam it into hard wood and twist it! Thick knives with a hearty point can take more abuse. Knives have a purpose. Each one will function within its limits. Knives are meant to cut. Some are thicker than others. Some are meant for shaving, others for slicing, some for chopping. Again, each one has its limits and its own purpose. Do not expect to abuse a knife and them complain it did not stand up to your tests. Remember, each knife for its own purpose! Just use common sense.

Hand forged Kiridashi knife 1/4 in thick with tapered cutting end(see images). Heavy-duty knife. This thing just feels great in your hand. Japanese style Kiridashi forged from 5160 USA steel. Forged from a single piece of steel. Shaving sharp! This tool will last a lifetime and is meant to be used daily. Will include a leather sheath.

RIGHT HANDED

This is a great all-around knife used for any task such as woodworking, leatherworking, carving, pruning, marking, utility knife, scraping, whittling, cut, mark, detail. It's a knife! You can use it as you like.

The handle easily indexes in hand and feels solid. This will not roll in your hand which gives good control over the blade. Tapered from back to front for solid control.

This knife was hand forged in a traditional coal forge using hand tools only. All parts are handmade by the owner. I thank you for viewing my products. I offer my customers a truly custom product. No two knives are ever the same because I hand forge each blade and its components.
