Nordic Knife Design - Kiridashi 75 Head

After leaving as co-owner of Bris, Dennis Holmbacka founded Nordic Knife Design. Founded by a knife industry veteran as a designer and trader, NKD may be a new name, but behind it lies decades of experience. NKD knives are often minimalist in detail and have an elegant design, features that many would call traditional Scandinavian design. Form follows function. NKD uses the best factories used by many other top brands. With these blades, there is no question of quality issues.

Kiridashi is a traditional Japanese knife that provides excellent tip control, reverse grip capability for controlled pulling cuts. This striking tool is perfect for cutting leather and wood, cutting veneer, rope and fabric, or opening cardboard boxes, in office work, not to mention gardening work. The single blade of the knife is easy to sharpen. And perhaps best of all, it's a really cool looking knife.

The head is made of made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel with chemical composition optimized for high quality for professional knife applications. The chemical composition provides a unique combination of properties, including:

• Excellent edge performance
• Very high hardness
• Good corrosion resistance

Sandvik 12C27 is mainly recommended for knife applications that place very high demands on sharpness, edge stability and corrosion resistance.

This blade can be easily bound with wooden covers connected by Corby screws.

The head has mounting holes to fit Corby type screws (4.6 mm) or ordinary metal rods, and a hole for a cord.
