The Kiridashi

Inspiration and design

The “Kiridashi” knife takes the form of the kiridashi kogatana, the small Japanese cutting tool used for fine work, marking and carving.
This minimalist version, with no scales or covering, focuses on pure function.

Cut entirely from stainless steel, this kiridashi sits well in the hand despite its raw appearance. Lightweight, discreet and easy to carry, it disappears into a pocket until the moment it is needed.

Stainless-steel blade and keen edge

• Made from 3 mm-thick Z50CDV13, this steel provides remarkable cutting performance. The food industry uses it for its ease of sharpening and corrosion resistance.
• Our craftsman creates the single-bevel edge by hand with a hollow profile, producing a highly effective cutting edge.

Handle

• Broken and lightly rounded edges preserve good comfort in use.
• Our craftsman shapes each handle by hand in our workshop in Thiers.

Appearance and details

• The blade’s stonewash finish adds visual character and protects against scratches and wear.
• The satin-finished cutting edge strongly contrasts with the patinated appearance of the blade.
• Grooves on the blade spine improve grip.
• A lanyard can be fitted through the hole at the end of the knife.
• Our craftsman’s logo appears above the cutting edge to sign his work. 🔗 Learn more about the workshop’s craftsmanship
