It’s the perfect size to keep on my desk or slip in my pocket when I’m working. I use it to open boxes, packages, letters — pretty much whatever comes up. It’s sharp and easy to handle, especially being left-handed which makes it even better for me. The build quality is really nice. It feels solid and balanced in the hand, not cheap at all. I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t seen any rust, even with some light use outdoors. The blade still looks clean and sharp. Simple, works great, and looks cool too. Definitely glad I picked this up. Review: It cuts no matter which hand I use - I'm not sure if the description of this item as "left handed" refers only to the direction of the blade, (ie, the steel is cut away from the left side to create the cutting surface, while the right side is flat), or if the name means it's intended to be used by a left-handed person. If the latter, don't be deceived--it's a damn filthy lie. It works great in my right hand AND in my left. This "knife" is the ultimate in simplicity: just a small piece or Japanese steel beveled into a wedge to make it sharp, wrapped in a piece of brass. The brass is held on by a little crimp that adds a very small bit of extra width, but its still very thin--about a 1 ml--yet quite sturdy, which is what i love about it. It arrived sharp, although I improved that with some gentle work on a diamond stone, and it immediately became my #3 EDC blade, which was what I was looking for (#3 meaning totally concealed and unseen, unlike #1-openly displayed, #2-concealed but immediately accessible). The slim profile, short size (5 in/approx 12 cm) and tightly fitting cap make it perfect to slide in a boot, slip under a snug bracelet wore w/ long sleeves, or in the back pocket of a pair of trousers. Mind it's secure though, as its small size and light weight make it prone to fall out of loose pockets. It's even just the right dimensions to hang unseen behind a neck tie, if you have the right hardware to secure it. It's nothing fancy--exactly the opposite, really--and I don't know how it handles carving small details into wood, but for my purposes as an every day emergency tool I can carry in any setting, it's outstanding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KDHQT1E | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #154,944 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #686 in Pocket Knives & Folding Knives | | Blade Length | 37 Millimeters | | Blade Material | Brass | | Blade Shape | Wharncliffe | | Brand Name | Yoshiharu | | Color | Brass | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (411) | | Hand Orientation | Left Hand | | Handle Material | Brass | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 5.12 Inches | | Item Weight | 0.7 Ounces | | Model Name | 01 | | Model Number | 01 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping, Carving, Peeling, Skinning | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | Japanese | | Theme | Outdoor Activities | | UPC | 701806975270 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Brass - **Brand:** Yoshiharu - **Color:** Brass - **Handle Material:** Brass - **Included Components:** Pocket Clip - **Model Name:** 01 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping, Carving, Peeling, Skinning - **Special Feature:** Foldable - **Style:** Japanese ## Images ![Left Hand / Japanese/Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512RWgsiYzL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What kind of steel is the blade?** A: It is not blue steel, not even close.

It’s the perfect size to keep on my desk or slip in my pocket when I’m working. I use it to open boxes, packages, letters — pretty much whatever comes up.

Definitely glad I picked this up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It cuts no matter which hand I use *by H***H on October 30, 2017* I'm not sure if the description of this item as "left handed" refers only to the direction of the blade, (ie, the steel is cut away from the left side to create the cutting surface, while the right side is flat), or if the name means it's intended to be used by a left-handed person.

Worth the money. *by N***Y on October 29, 2023* This isn't a day to day knife, it is a sturdy xacto knife scaled up 4 times. Its sharp and really good for cutting, but is really isn't a long term blade, it will wear out and should be viewed as a bit disposable. It can be resharpened. I am ok with the purchase and may buy it again when this one goes dull. ## Frequently Bought Together - Left Hand / Japanese/Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife - Higo no Kami 10 Pocket Knife by Nagao Seisakusho, Brass Finish - Higo no Kami 7 Pocket Knife by Nagao Seisakusho, Parkerized Black Satin Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/14954582-left-hand-japanese-kiridashi-craft-pocket-knife](https://www.desertcart.us/products/14954582-left-hand-japanese-kiridashi-craft-pocket-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
