Cold Steel Kiridashi Folding Knife

A Japanese Classic. Reimagined for Modern Utility.

The Cold Steel Kiridashi Folding Knife brings one of Japan's oldest and most practical blade designs into the modern era. Inspired by the traditional Kiridashi utility knife, once carried by everyone from Samurai to craftsmen, this folding version combines timeless functionality with Cold Steel's renowned engineering to create a highly practical utility knife.

Its 2.5-inch Kiridashi blade is crafted from German 4116 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of maintenance. Precision ground and honed to a razor-sharp edge, the distinctive angular blade excels at precision cutting, carving, whittling, trimming and a wide variety of workshop, craft and outdoor tasks, making it the folding equivalent of the original Japanese utility knife.

The ergonomic Griv-Ex® handle provides a secure, comfortable grip while remaining lightweight and exceptionally durable. Resistant to moisture, cracking, warping and mildew, it is built to withstand years of dependable service in demanding environments.

For outstanding safety and strength, the Kiridashi Folder is equipped with Cold Steel's legendary Tri-Ad® Lock, widely regarded as one of the strongest and most reliable folding knife locking mechanisms available. Designed to withstand repeated hard use and heavy shock, it locks the blade securely in place for confident operation.

Combining traditional Japanese design with premium modern materials and Cold Steel's legendary craftsmanship, the Cold Steel Kiridashi Folding Knife is an excellent choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking a compact, versatile utility knife.
