This elegant little tool truly deserves the name, ‘utility knife’.
Capable of almost any cutting or carving task, it will quickly become your constant workshop companion. The ideal addition to every woodworker’s kit, from enthusiast to professional.
Utility knives are absolutely essential. Whether you are a hand-tool purist or a machine-head, or somewhere in between, you’ll always need a sharp workshop knife within reach. But disposable snap-off blades are wasteful and expensive over the long run. They’re also flimsy and hard to control in anything but the gentlest of jobs.
The Japanese solution is the kiridashi. A single-bevel utility knife with a controllable, stiff blade that will open all your boxes, mark out your joinery, tidy up your tenons, whittle your flutes… and might even make you a cup of tea!
The SS-400’s blade is made of SK high carbon steel, and the grip and sheath are made of brass. It is manufactured by Yoshiharu Cutlery in Seki, a city that is famous for its sword and knife-making heritage. Featuring a slim, elegant handle and matching sheath, it will fit into your pocket without poking a hole.
While the SS-400 arrives relatively sharp, it can be honed to a much keener edge than the manufacturer has given it.

Love these Yoshiharu knives, such a compact, elegant and simple design. Razor sharp straight out of the box.
good entry level tool sharp
Lovely little tool, I wish I had known of these ealier in life!
I just chucked this onto my order because it was cheap, and it's a nice knife. I was expecting there to be a satifying click to putting the cap back on, some kind of positive lock to make it feel like it wouldn't accidentally come off, but it's just a friction fit. I also Didn't look closely enough at the images and thought the brass handle would be sturdier. It's just thin sheet brass, but it's still a good little knife, I just had perhap unrealistic expectations
This is a great little marker to keep in your workshop drawer. While i have not tested the durablity of the blade edge over time, for the price, it is an elegant, functional product. Comprising of the blade retained by fruction wrapped in light gauge brass sheet, with an additional sheet wrap serving as a blade cap, it will disappear in your pocket.
