Who would like to see a Spyderco kiridashi?!
I've been on a traditional kick lately and think it would be cool to see Spyderco's take on the kiridashi style knife. Anybody else agree?

No thanks. One can easily find them by local makers or blacksmiths.

I must say, those aren't at all what I had in mind haha! If you do an image search for kiridashi in google, you will see a better example in what I was thinking about. The main uses as I see them are small, robust edc fixed blades w/ a straight edge. They seem perfect for opening boxes, packages, letters, and small utility work.phillipsted wrote:Maybe someone can explain the utility of the kiridashi to me. I've seen them for years and they are advertised as wood carving knives - and I have a similar-shaped blade in my Marbles carving set. But what other uses would one have for this blade shape?

Look at British blades , Australian blade forums , and blade forum for a custom maker called npd he makes awesome dashis in firestorm Damascus and ss for very reasonable costs .
I personally think the dynamics of a kiridashi would not fit with the spyderco brand it would be hard to design a recognisable spyderco kiridashi IMO .
The utility aspect for these blades were a small carving tool that offers detailed control and precision encompassing the grind and sharpend tip and top edge.

Yeah, I've handled a few traditional kiridashi blades (no scales, angled chisel grind) and wasn't sure how to use them, other than for carving and woodworking. I posted the picture just to compare the grind to one of the knives in my carving set (e.g., angled chisel grind - first and third from the right).duvaldrummer wrote:I must say, those aren't at all what I had in mind haha!

Seems like it wouldn't be a very big seller for Sal in any event, given the limited utility of the blade type...

My understanding of the kiridashi is that it's traditional function is actually as a wood marking knife - it's used as a scribe against a straight edge.
However, I've made a few kiris of different shapes and use them for all sorts. I think of them as a handy wee sharp.

They are Japanese woodworking knives. They are very handy around the shop, but only okay for EDC. Though they do look cool.phillipsted wrote:Maybe someone can explain the utility of the kiridashi to me.
