Akifusa’s mission from the start has been to supply conscientious cooks and knife enthusiasts with the tools they need to do their best work. Collaborating with a roster of blacksm iths and craftsmen (including Ohishi) across Japan, Akifusa offers a wide range of knives for any budget. A kiritsuke-gyuto is a chef's knife with a slanted tip from a traditional single-sided blade called a kiritsuke. It is essentially a chef's knife with a twist. It serves the same function as an all-purpose knife, and although some swear that the accentuated tip makes it easier to execute fine cuts, we find that the k-tip mostly offers aesthetic power boost (rough guess 50%).
