Dashi Utility Knife

Origin Handcrafted cuts the Dashi blade from an antique sawmill blade in Balmoral, Manitoba. It is the cheapest knife the shop makes, and we think it is the most useful.

Marc Liss cuts the Dashi Utility Knife from a mid-century sawmill blade in Balmoral, Manitoba, a village north of Winnipeg. The knife follows the Japanese kiridashi pattern, a single bevel with no handle, and carries a 4-centimetre edge at 70 grams. Origin Handcrafted designs and makes every piece in the same Balmoral workshop, so nothing here crosses a border before it reaches you. Liss makes everything to order, and the shop quotes eight to ten weeks per piece.
