Hi everyone, I have two kiridashis for sale today.

Specs:

1/8" 1084 steel heat treated by Darrin Sanders to 61Rc
4.5" OAL
Right hand chisel ground with fine convex microbevel. To sharpen just strop the left hand(unground) side.
Forge finish, it's almost a bronze color in the right light. Very cool and prevents corrosion :thumbup:

I made a leather sheath and a lanyard that will go with each kiridashi.

These are some crazy cutters and are freaky sharp! I hand strop all my knives and I tested the sharpness of these by cutting writing off of printer paper without going through. These kiridashis will make great craft or EDC knives, they are perfect for making small, clean precision cuts.

Asking $60 shipped USPS priority CONUS. If you want express shipping, etc. just let me know and I'll bill you extra after shipping.

I take Paypal, check and USPS money order. If you want to buy this knife, post "I'll take it" in this thread then email me at markellmtthw@aol.com and confirm that you want it and let me know how you want to pay and where it needs to go. If you choose to pay by Paypal, I will send a Paypal invoice to your email account.

Thanks for looking,

Can see that the new grinder has put a nice edge to your work. Using Darrin Sander to do your heat treat should make these real cutters. The practice you are getting is showing in your blades. Nice work!
 
Thanks Martin, I appreciate it. I am really proud of how these two turned out, the F&F is much better than the last 'dashi I sold here (which wasn't even that bad!)

I'm not sure if you heard but I got those modified sheepsfoot blades sent off to Peter's for HT. Should just need some cleanup and then I'll get yours out to you!
