Once again master knife designer Kirk Rexroat puts his talents to work for 888 Professional with the Kirkidashi. Based on an ancient Japanese design, Kirk’s eye caught the minimalist nature Japanese tools and knives are known for, and up-graded it for the 21st. Century and the demands of today’s user. Of hand-forged Damascus, this “cutter” is big on ability and small on size. If you distilled a knife to the most basic components of edge and point, you’d have the Kirkidashi Knife.
