Originally used by carvers, these knives have become popular with Western woodworkers for precise joinery layout. The ultra-sharp cutting edge and single-bevel design allow the flat face to sit flush against a reference surface, while the fine tip reaches tight spaces such as dovetails. The 18mm size is more robust and solid in the hand and often favored for larger work or users with larger hands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBevel Orientation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiridashi Marking Knife is available in left bevel orientation, right bevel orientation, or as a Left and Right Bundle with both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the left bevel, when the cutting edge points down and away from you, the bevel is on the left.
