I was asked about this a while ago and I can't remember a thing about why. I made up my own knife for making kydex to use to trim and scrape edges and EDC. Yeah...no one ever asks me to remove my knife from my belt. Part is the colors and part is I don't make a big thing of it. Here it is....


'Sheath Kiridashi'- 6.5" long with a 1.25" cutting edge and a 3" 'blade' of 3/16" thick high chromium/vanadium stainless with orange/black stingray and epoxied cord. Coyote/orange sheath with marker loop (I put an orange sharpie in there just for fun) Clay tempered with hamon. Sharpened on 1800 grit slip stone.

(the hole was from a bolt hole slot as an industrial cutting blade in some vegetable processing plant...so cool!)

LOl...it IS a tool! Just because I always carry it does not make it any less a tool, but hey, I had to put this somewhere didn't I? Lol.. Japanese kiridashis have always been tools used as a utility knife much like our hook bill and other blades before we came up with the replaceable blade utility knives because we are a throw away society.
 
Ahh--I see. I interpret the subforum title as meaning "Cutlery & Tools Used in the Kitchen" whereas you're interpreting it as "Kitchen cutlery & Tools in General."
