Kiridashi Craft Pocket Knife Japanese Blade Brass Handle with Sheath

Think of an American kraft knife like the Fiskars or Exacto. They have a cheap low quality but very sharp disposable blade, and have a long holder. What are you buying when you buy an American craft knife? You are buying a handle that can be re-used with cheap low quality blades. The Japanese craft knife (pennant knife) is the exact opposite of this. It is a high quality blade (also very sharp), that is very much able to be sharpened to keep it's edge, and very very little spent on the handle which is essentially folded brass. So my question is what do you prefer? a nicer handle with a cheap disposable blade? or a very good blade with a cheaper handle? Personally I much prefer a nicer blade as it makes the mudane tasks easier. I keep it around my desk as a "box cutter/package opener/utility knife". It has the added benefit of being super low profile (I've used it as a bookmark), So it's easily transportable to wherever you need it.

It is small in he hand, but when you look at it , it says...sharp.

Good blade but sheath too soft it bends easy

Very sharp!!!!

Very well made,great size for everyday use

Compared to other Japanese style marking/utility knives this one has a thin blade 1mm and is not bimetallic nor hollow ground It is a very sharp and nicely finished razor blade

Awesome little knife,super sharpe very thin Im usuing mine as book mark. Bought two one for me, and one just as a random gift. Both was the same he liked his also. Highly recommend can't go wrong for the money. Would love to see other knifes the company makes.
