Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kiridashi knife used for in woodworking?

A kiridashi is a Japanese single-bevel utility knife used to scribe precise layout lines, pare wood fibers, and make controlled cuts where a chisel is too wide and a pencil is too imprecise. The Ikeuchi Mikihisa Kiridashi is a classic example, with a flat back that rides against a straightedge for accurate scribing.

Where are Ikeuchi knives made?

Ikeuchi knives are hand-forged in Miki, Hyogo, Japan. Miki has been a center of Japanese blade-making for centuries, and Ikeuchi has operated there as a family-owned business since 1953, with three generations maintaining traditional forging techniques.

Are Ikeuchi carving knives suitable for beginners?

The Ikeuchi Small Carving Knives are hand-ground to a fine edge that cuts with light pressure, which can actually be easier and safer for beginners than struggling with a dull blade. A sharp carving knife requires less force, giving the user better control.

What is the difference between a kiridashi and a marking knife?

A kiridashi is a specific style of Japanese marking and utility knife with a single-bevel grind and a flat spine, while the term "marking knife" is broader and includes many blade shapes. Kiridashi knives like the Ikeuchi model are a subset of marking knives optimized for scribing clean layout lines in wood.

How should I store Ikeuchi knives to protect the blades?

The 7-Pocket Tool Roll for Ikeuchi Knives keeps blades separated and protected. Storing sharp knives loose in a drawer risks dulling the edges and is a safety hazard.

How do I sharpen an Ikeuchi kiridashi knife?

Because kiridashi knives have a single-bevel grind, sharpening is straightforward: work the bevel on a sharpening stone until you raise a burr, then lightly lap the flat back to remove the burr. Waterstones in the 1,000-to-8,000 grit range are commonly used for Japanese blades. Visit the Infinity Tools Learn blog for sharpening technique guides.

What steel do Ikeuchi knives use?

Ikeuchi uses high-carbon steel in their hand-forged blades. The exact steel specification may vary by product line; check individual product pages or contact our team for details on a specific knife.

Can Ikeuchi knives be used for bonsai or garden work?

Yes. Ikeuchi's history includes knives purpose-built for bonsai enthusiasts and gardeners. Their compact, sharp blades are well suited for pruning, grafting, and fine detail work on plants.
