Kiridashi means " to carve out" but mainly used as an utility knife, traditionally as a woodwork and leather knife.

Awesome stuff Grant. Well done. For what it's worth I sharpen my knives "clean" . Including the kiridashi I have made. In this context "clean" means no secondary bevel. Just polished all the way from shoulder to edge. Flat ground I use water stones down to 8000 grit. If convex, I use a belt grinder then a buffing wheel. Edges done this way seem to cut better, maybe just me, but definitely stay sharper longer. Adam
