Midnight Osage Kiridashi
Rooted in traditional Japanese design and handcrafted for modern makers, the Midnight Osage Kiridashi is a compact utility blade built for precision. Forged from durable 1084 high carbon steel, the 2.5-inch blade is hand sanded before being acid etched to create a rich black patina that not only gives the knife its distinctive appearance but also provides added protection to the steel.
The handle features a traditional Japanese Tsuka-Ito wrap, using black 550 paracord over carefully shaped Osage orange swells for a secure, comfortable grip. Each end of the wrap is finished with a hand-tied Turk's head knot, adding both durability and a refined handcrafted touch that honors the knife's heritage.
Compact enough for detailed shop work yet rugged enough for everyday use, this kiridashi is equally at home marking wood, carving leather, opening packages, or tackling countless precision tasks.
