Description

The midsize version of our Traveller's Companion is our take on the traditional Japanese Kiridashi knife, in essence a stripped down pocket knife measuring approximately 5 inches from tip to tail with a cutting edge a little over 2" long.

Based on the Japanese Kiridashi knife, this is our take on a compact and versatile pocket knife. It measures approximately 5” from tip to tail, with a cutting edge that is 2” long.

This knife begins as an old steel file. Vintage steel files are made from quality high-carbon steel, perfect for knives due to their excellent durability and edge retention.

We start by cutting the rough shape of The Wright out of the file. After the rough shape is finished, we bring the blade to life.

The Wright is then taken over to our grinder and worked by hand. Sparks fly, and the beautiful shape emerges. After careful shaping and grinding, each blade is finished by sharpening on a wet stone.

This blade fits tight in the hand and is highly maneuverable, making it ideal for use in the outdoors.

The steel holds a sharp and durable edge and will cut or slice with ease.

A handcrafted vegetable-tan leather sheath provides the perfect storage for this knife.

With its compact size and sturdy build, this is an excellent every-day pocket knife that will hold up for decades.

These knives have an asymmetrical grind, so they are not ambidextrous. Refer to the ordering notes below for instructions on getting a right or left-handed blade.

Must be 18 years or older to purchase. Be aware of your local knife laws.
