It is used for trimming \u0026amp; shaping woodworking \u0026amp; bamboo. It is also used as a grafting knife in the garden. The top of the blade has a right hand bevel edge with the back side flat \u0026amp; hollow ground for easy re-sharpening. The Tsuguki style blades are wider \u0026amp; larger than the Kiridashi Kogatana models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e   Mr. Ikeuchi master blacksmith along with his fellow blacksmiths hand forge, grind, \u0026amp; sharpen these knives. White high carbon steel laminated on top with a softer layer of steel allowing the blade to be hardened to Rockwell 64. With all steel as it becomes harder \u0026amp; tougher, it will be more brittle \u0026amp; can snap in half, the soft steel lamination arrests this possibility. These knives we carry from Mr. Ikeuchi are beveled ground on one side only \u0026amp; flat to edge on the underside yet hollow ground as a common practice to facilitate less time in re-honing to a sharp edge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   Hardwick \u0026amp; Sons is pleased to offer quality tools from Japan for the many people who desire special \u0026amp; well-crafted tools.
