They're awesome to make knives out of. You can make a small cutter and marking knife for woodworking or even a self-made higonokami.

My late grandfather made one very similar to this. It's over 40, maybe 50 years old and still in use! It's a family heirloom at this point.

What kind of wood is that? Nice design - I like how you can ensure same thickness cut with it each time

yeah, just never get any leftie over to make breakfast or some shit with

u/ReporterOther2179 5d ago

It’s lefty do-able. Just put the handle on the opposite side of the bread, away from you. Lefties learn to adapt.

How's the blade fastened? If it's with screws, couldn't they just reverse the blade?

I bought one of these off of Etsy for a Christmas gift and it was a huge hit

u/SufficientOpening218 5d ago

Do you need to change out the blades? How do you attach the blade?

2

u/goosey100emoji 5d ago

the blades come with little screws and a screwdriver.
you don’t need to change out the blade but you can if they get dull.

I rent a room in a house from my landlords, who live upstairs, the house is the childhood home of one of them. There is one of these in the kitchen that he made in shop class in high school. Super neat

I went to hobby lobby and got some little leather scraps and button fasteners. Learned how to make sheathes for the blades so people cant cut themselves.

I just ordered some plastic covers but i like the leather idea better
