Each of these modern Kiradashi's is cut from a bar of pattern welded steel forged in our shop in the rocky mountains of Montana. Every piece is hand ground, finished and sharpened and has a unique variation of a raindrop damascus pattern. The Damascus steel is composed of 1080 and 15n20 high carbon steels, and the pattern is revealed through a precise acid etching process. Included is a handmade leather edge cover from Teton Leather, built in Idaho falls, ID. 
 
     The Kiradashi is an ancient Japanese design used for woodworking, carving, and shop ulitity tasks. This reimagination of the timeless design began to evolve nearly 10 years ago when Will built his first kiradashi. Since then this design has morphed and changed to finally arrive with these proportions and ergonomics. It is perfectly suited for the daily demands of anyone working with their hands in a shop, or for those who sit at a desk, no matter the sitution, its almost always handy to have a razor sharp knife around.
 
     Since these tools are built from high carbon steel, they do have the ability to rust, please make sure to keep them waxed or oiled prevent corrosion.  Each Kiradashi comes with a 1oz tin of Wicked Wax to preserve the steel and prevent rust.
