Japanese Kiridashi Bonsai Grafting Knife

Japanese Kiridashi Bonsai Grafting Knife

• A very high quality laminated steel grafting knife
• Made in Japan for Kikuwa
• 190mm overall length
  

A Kiridashi (切り出し) is a traditional Japanese utility knife which features a single bevel blade. Kiridashi feature a single-bevel, sharply pointed blade, which provides exceptional control for precise cuts. This knife has a laminated steel blade meaning the cutting edge is a very hard steel to keep a good edge whilst the rest of the knife is a slightly softer steel that can handle pressure without breaking. 

A shaving sharp carbon steel edge allows ultra clean cuts for fast healing and successful grafts. The blade is ground at a very shallow angle that means a minimum of flexing at the incision point which again aids wound recovery.

Do not use the point for leverage, this is a precision cutting tool not a mortice chisel!

190mm overall length. 58mm cutting edge length.

Only sharpen Kiridashi using fine grade water stones. Most diamond sharpeners are too coarse and will ruin the edge as will soft abrasive cleaners.

A very high quality tool at a great price. 

Supplied in a vinyl display wallet.

When in storage always keep carbon steel tools oiled to prevent corrosion using our Camellia Oil

Very highly recommended!
