This hand-forged Kiridashi marking knife with a rounded blade is designed for leathercrafters who need smooth control, precision, and dependable performance. The rounded blade profile makes it especially suitable for curved lines, pattern tracing, and refined cutting tasks where accuracy and flow are essential.
Each knife is handcrafted in Ukraine by skilled craftspeople using high-quality 52100 carbon steel that conforms to ASTM A295 standards. The blade is heat-treated to a hardness of 59–62 HRC, providing excellent edge retention and wear resistance. This allows the tool to stay sharp through repeated use and deliver consistent results across many projects.
With a blade length of 5.5 cm, this Kiridashi offers added reach while maintaining fine control. The rounded cutting edge glides smoothly through leather, making it ideal for marking, trimming, and detailed shaping. It arrives sharpened and ready to use, so you can integrate it immediately into your workflow without extra preparation.
This tool adapts well to different leather thicknesses and conditions, supporting a wide range of leathercraft applications such as wallets, belts, bags, and custom accessories. It pairs naturally with maintenance tools like a work sharp system or a traditional knife strop, helping extend blade life and performance.
A genuine leather sheath is included for safe handling and storage. It protects the blade edge and keeps the knife secure when not in use, making it easy to transport and store in your workshop.
