KAKURI Japanese Kiridashi Carving Knife Bend Type Japanese Hammered Carbon Steel Blade 12mm for Woodworking Made in Japan (40943)

This blade is super duper sharp and goes through wood like snot through a wet tissue. The only complaint I have is that the handle can get a little uncomfortable after using it for a while on account of it being so slender.

Awesome carving knife. Love the awesome blade and it fit nicely in the hand . Love it curve. Most of all it carve smoothly

Excellent woodworking scribe. Yes, I'll use it as a utility blade once in a while, but the main purpose is the precise scribe line. I thought the curvature might make a 4' scribe line more comfortable, and it does. In addition, the curvature adds an organic element that my hand prefers on a reach. Japanese tool steel. Razor sharpened. Delivers a wonderful thin scribe line out of the package. The steel will hold the same edge through many resharpenings. Better than expected.

Ordered this for a specific use, marking wood for the saw, and have found it useful for many other things not related to woodworking (like precise paper cutting and sharpening pencils for example). So useful. Much more comfortable to use than the standard "hobby knife". Can sharpen and reuse so no used blades to deal with. Plus, it looks good! Recommend keeping this oiled to prevent rust. Comes already sharpened so be careful. I bought the one with the curved handle and have found it more comfortable, with greater control and leverage. This is strictly a matter of taste however.

Got for cleaning up my 3d prints, used it twice and tip broke. Pretty sure it's a crap hardened steal because the tip was not that sharp or brittle enough for some plastic. But it is easy to just re-shape and re-sharpen if you know what your doing. I put a 25° angle back on it for durability and sharpness. Pretty sure it was close to 15 to 20° originally. But for time and money I don't have to go get hardened steel and make one my self so over all Pretty happy with it. Metal is finicky anyways.
