Review: Great Marking Knife For A Great Price - This Kiridashi marking knife is amazing. It is exactly what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. It is razor sharp, and I’ve had no issues with the tip breaking like some others have mentioned in their reviews. I’m assuming that the people who broke the tip either twisted it or were pressing insanely hard to break it. But even if the tip does eventually break, if you’re buying this then there’s a 99% chance that you’re a woodworker, so resharpening it shouldn’t be an issue if you have a honing station for your chisels anyway. The only thing that I wish they’d change is the packaging. It just comes in a plastic package with a cardboard backer, with a little plastic sheath over the tip. So I ended up buying a cheap little necklace box from desertcart for like $10, and ripped out the interior of it and replaced it with high density foam cut to the shape of the marking knife to safely store it. I also made a little sheath just to cover the tip in between uses while I’m using it. If you get it, I definitely recommend buying/making some form of storage box for it. The one I found actually worked out great because it kind of matches the Japanese Aesthetic too!
Review: Great quality tool - Authentic and frighteningly sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality tool
*by D***. on January 18, 2026*

Authentic and frighteningly sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely must have for wood working and crafts
*by J***R on May 9, 2026*

This is a fantastic little Knife then Steel is especially good quality being high carbon. The blade came razor sharp and is as easy as can be to sharpen with its overall shape. Definitely worth every penny spend especially when compared to the company Jayger who sell similar style knives at higher prices for worse quality. It is the perfect size for smaller tasks that don't require my 18mm that I actually purchased before the 12mm. Material is a high carbon steel that for the price I had to buy more than one and my only regret is that I didn't buy my curved handle Kiridashi from this company and not Jayger who was a massive disappointment.
