Simple. Sharp. Built to work. The Dashi is a no-nonsense utility knife cut directly from a mid-20th century high carbon sawmill blade and modelled after the traditional Japanese kiridashi. No ergonomic curves, no ornamentation — just a clean, purposeful cutting tool made to be used hard and used often. The short, flat cutting edge handles the full range of everyday tasks with ease — box opening, leather and paper cutting, carpentry marking, and more. It's also exceptionally easy to sharpen and maintain. Available with a standard grind or an asymmetrical chisel grind, which is ideal for woodworking marking knives and shallow wood carving cuts. Comes with a handcrafted leather slip sheath in your choice of black or brown — low profile and slim enough to tuck into a pocket, purse, or pack without a second thought.
