Japanese Kiridashi (Marking knife).
In researching these knives I chanced upon a site from Germany who market these as carving tools,and indeed they would be very useful for a carver;but; they are Kiridashi really.
I have a range of sizes here and they all are between 140mm and 180mm long; getting longer as they get wider.
Made from laminated low & high carbon steel,the larger sizes have a hollow scoop in the blade to make sharpening easier.Really just a sharpened piece of laminated steel for marking or cutting as a knife would.
Make your own handle if you like.
