Painstakingly manufactured with 67-layered stainless Damascus steel, the 8.5" Japanese Kiritsuke chef knife from Kyoku is the ideal multi-purpose knife for your kitchen. The kiritsuke knife is designed to be a slicing and push-cut specialist. The gorgeous herringbone pattern on the base of the tang unveils the stunning craftsmanship and its luxurious identity.

GLOBALLY SOURCED VG10 SUPER STEEL
Manufactured with ultra-premium 67-layered stainless Damascus steel HRC 60-62 hardness, this 8.5 in. Japanese kiritsuke knife boasts unrivaled performance and incredible edge retention; the cobalt added steel outperforms AUS-10 steel in durability and is easier to sharpen, since cobalt enhances the other alloying elements.
INCREDIBLE SHARPNESS
The kiritsuke knife's ruthlessly sharp edge is handcrafted by seasoned artisans to a mirror polish at 8-12° per side using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method; cryogenically treated for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.
ERGONOMIC & WELL-BALANCED
The kiritsuke knife's 8.5'' and slightly curved blade helps alleviate fatigue and finger pains from long periods of slicing or chopping, perfectly blending control and comfort.
DURABLE HANDLE
The meticulously constructed, triple-riveted G10 handle has gone through special treatment, making it extremely impervious to heat, cold, and moisture; accented with a mosaic pin.
