Designed with input from countless professional luthiers using them day in and day out, Thorsson kiridashis are constructed with ease of use in mind. Each knife is forged by hand, ground by hand, and given optimal heat treatment.
 
Our five-layer laminated construction has 1095 steel on the sides, Aogami #2 in the center, and mild steel in between. The soft mild steel forged into the center of each bevel wears away more readily than the high carbon around it, acting as an integrated hollow grind. This helps you sharpen faster, keep a more constant bevel angle, and can even assist in keeping the surface flat. Time is money when it comes to fine woodwork. A knife built like this helps to save you from wasting time at the sharpening stone.
 
Single bevel variants are 3 laminates (1095/Mild/Aogami #2).
 
Standard Dimensions: H: 16mm W: 3mm L: 160mm

Most tools are shipped with a rough grind and will require a proper setup by the user to their preferences.
