Description

Simple. Sharp. Built to work.

The Dashi is a no-nonsense utility knife cut directly from a mid-20th century high carbon sawmill blade and modelled after the traditional Japanese kiridashi. No ergonomic curves, no ornamentation — just a clean, purposeful cutting tool made to be used hard and used often.

The short, flat cutting edge handles the full range of everyday tasks with ease — box opening, leather and paper cutting, carpentry marking, and more. It's also exceptionally easy to sharpen and maintain. Available with a standard grind or an asymmetrical chisel grind, which is ideal for woodworking marking knives and shallow wood carving cuts.

Comes with a handcrafted leather slip sheath in your choice of black or brown — low profile and slim enough to tuck into a pocket, purse, or pack without a second thought.

Materials

Our blades are made with high carbon steel. This steel is known for its edge retention and durability. However, unlike stainless steel these blades will naturally oxidize over time and gain a beautiful patina.

Care must be taken to prevent corrosion or rust on the blade. Click here for information on how to care for your Origin Handcrafted knife.

Guarantee

Our knives are designed with everyday use in mind and come with an Everyday Structural Guarantee. If for some reason our knives fail to perform as they should, we will replace or repair them at no cost to you. Note that this guarantee does not apply if the knife has been misused or improperly cared for.

To ensure your knife lasts as long (and longer) than you do, follow the steps outlined in our Knife Care section.
