Traditional Japanese garments—robes called Kimono had no pockets; however, men who wore them needed a place to store their personal belongings, such as pipes, tobacco, money, seals, or medicines.

Their solution was to place such objects in containers (called Sagemono) hung by cords from the robes’ sashes. The containers may have been pouches or small woven baskets, but the most popular were beautifully Hand Crafted Wooden Boxes which were held closed with sliding Beads on Cords.

This is Raymond’s Kiridashi EDC ~ an Elegant little Package of a Nesting “Waterfall” Bubinga Wooden Sheath and Hidden Blade. The Sheath may be carried in a Pocket, Purse or Pack with the Maple Wood Bead dangling discreetly outside to assist in quick access. 

The Sheath was Hard Carved with Cherry Wood Side Braces and Gorgeous Waterfall Bubinga Wood Front and Back.  The Bubinga has lovely 3D like Chatoyance when rotated back and forth.  Raymond Fit, Polished and Glued all the parts together in a Seamless union.  During the construction Raymond also threaded the Green 550 Paracord through the Body of the Sheath. 

  The Second Maple Keeper Bead and the Sheath Top are Friction Fit and will not allow the Top to accidentally slide open. To access the Hidden Blade, simply Slide the bead upward on the Cord, then slide the Bottom of the Sheath Down.

   This reveals a Traditional Chisel Ground Hardened Beta Titanium Blade with extremely Crisp Grinds and Beautiful Anodized Color.   

Raymond did everything on this knife himself. This Knife has an OD Green G-10 Blade Collar (Habaki) that when properly manipulated allows the Blade to be removed for Cleaning or Sharpening!

The Top of the Sheath allows for a Two Finger Grip with the Cord and Bead resting under the Pinkie.
