I have a hard on right now for kiridashis. I love that blade

>>33275753
yes it is slightly more useful than a prison shank and has about as much function as an exacto knife...I regret nothing

Kinda looks like a seax

>>33275753
it's basically just for marking wood to make cuts or cutting paper.
So useless basically...

>>33275753
>that blade point
-is only designed for stabbing hard materials. EG if you ever need to stab a fucking car to death.

Fucking useless for actual knife-work, marginally more durable tip for stabbing robots.

t. someone who can't tell the difference between a kiradashi and an american tanto

Isn't that a crafting knife for children? I guess any knife is better than no knife. I actually kind of want one legitimately for crafting purposes.

It was made for wood marking, it excels at that. So who cares what else it does.

>>33275753
this is /k/ weapons, not /k/ tools

It's a carpenter's knife. The flat bottom allows you to align it right against the edge of the pre-cut timber to trace around the joint, or against a ruler, etc

>>33275753
yea its just for cutting wood its a carpenters tool yo.

you can find them on etsy pretty cheap.

/k/ cares, it is a shitty weapon

I made a couple a few months ago, the blade profile is extremely sharp to the extent I hurt myself a few times accidentally.
The traditional knife is sort of a scribe, small utility knife and is a pretty simple little thing, I scaled it up by about 3x and that both makes it a bit more useful for doing other things -paring knife, boning poultry, whittling etc

Few things I did notice during some prototype testing was that the edge and point is very fine, if you hit anything hard with it or give it a good poke into something hard, you'll probably roll, chip or break it. So a secondary bevel does improve the edge strength (rather than going down from a complete angle to zero grind) and thicker steel to give the tip a bit more strength. That said, they're not hard to make

I mean it looks like an exacto knife.

>>33275753
They're just basic bitch utility knives, Japanese kids use them to sharpen pencils. Back in high school when I was an ultra weeb I got one on Amazon for like $20.
