The Kiridashi Kogatana knife is a traditional all-purpose Japanese laminated knife used for marking. trimming. shaping woodworking bamboo. The top of the blade has a right hand bevel edge with the back side flat hollow ground for easy re-sharpening.
Mr. Ikeuchi master blacksmith along with his fellow blacksmiths hand forge. grind. sharpen these knives. White high carbon steel laminated on top with a softer layer of steel allowing the blade to be hardened to Rockwell 64. With all steel as it becomes harder tougher. it will be more brittle can snap in half. the soft steel lamination arrests this possibility. These knives we carry from Mr. Ikeuchi are beveled ground on one side only flat to edge on the underside yet hollow ground as a common practice to facilitate less time in re-honing to a sharp edge.
