Kiridashi craft knives have long been common in Japan as versatile everyday carry knives. School children of past generations were required to bring kiridashi to school to sharpen their pencils, and use in art and craft. Craftsmen used them to carve wood and bamboo, and farmers used them to cut rope. With the invention of retractable utility knives and pencil sharpeners, kiridashi knives stopped being relied on as universal, everyday knives.
