### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sand off the ugly finish and it will be beautiful too
*by H***H on December 18, 2017*

As far as function goes, this knife is just what I wanted: I carry it in lieu of a boxcutter, and use it similarly. It's a bit bigger than the average boxcutter, but not inconveniently so; plus, it saves $ on razor blades, keeps an edge much longer, and looks great. Speaking of which:The construction on this knife is quite good for the price. The blade is thick, good quality steel (love the signature / makers mark on the strong), easily sharpened and has been blackened on part of the chisel side, giving it a two-tone look; the cap isnt tight but stays in place perfectly well enough for my purposes. The aesthetics though left something to be desired, but I fixed that up, in part by a happy accident. Firstly, the black plastic that holds the blade in the hilt had--i assume when still hot--oozed over the edge of the knife a bit. Some sandpaper fixed that in 30 seconds. More difficult was the paint job: it was a weird reddish color, like primer, and totally opaque so that the lovely wood grain couldn't be seen at all. I dont know why the makers did that but i was resigned to live with it as I didn't want to totally strip and repaint the knife. But this is where the happyaccident occurred.The knife came with a warning sticker on the handle, which left goo when I peel it off. I applied a drop of WD-40 to take that off and a cool thing happened: it took the ugly paint up along with the goo and diluted it into the consistency of wood stain. The color even looked good once it diluted, and I think the sticker goo gave it some useful viscosity. A bit more WD-40 and some gentle rubbing w/ fine sandpaper and now my knife handle and blade cover have a blond stain, with the wood grain clearly visible. I dont know if thats replicable, but if you hate the paint job as much as I did, give it a try. It seems appropriate for a Japanese knife, even a humble kiridashi, to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, sharp, nice and sharp; however...
*by D***R on August 23, 2019*

Simple packaging, easy to open. Feels comfortable in my hand. Appears to be a right handed blade but I'll make it work in my left hand.However, the spine of the blade is not parallel to the handle. With a straight edge on the back of the handle, the blade spine is one eighth inch from the straight edge at the handle but one quarter inch away at the tip, 2 7/16" from the handle. a 1/8" deviation. The blade cover cracked when first put on because the blade isn't squarely aligned.Is this enough to demand a replacement and send it back? Of course not. Did cost them a star.This is a tool which will get used a bunch. The versatility and usefulness is most important with this knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Gets the job done but...
*by A***0 on July 19, 2017*

Steel is fine, handle size is good for woodcarving. But the finish on the handle is really dry and needs some work. And the sheath is WAY too loose.
