Description

The Kiritsuke is a traditional Japanese multi-purpose knife that combines the qualities of both the Yanagiba and Usuba blades. Its longer blade than that of an Usuba allows for smooth slicing of fish, while its straight shape, more similar to that of a Yanagiba, allows for clean and precise cutting of vegetables. This versatile knife requires a certain dexterity and skill, but rewards the user with exceptional cutting performance.

This model is forged from blue Damascus steel, an ancient forging technique that layers several layers of steel to enhance the blade's strength and give it beautiful wave patterns. With an HRC hardness of 64-65, the blade guarantees an exceptional and long-lasting sharpness, allowing for clean and precise cuts without tearing the flesh. The polished Migaki steel finish highlights the blade's elegance and finesse. The round handle, combined with the Asian buffalo horn ferrule, ensures a comfortable and stable grip, perfectly suited to the precise movements required for fish and vegetables.
