The Yakushi Damascus Kiritsuke Knife is an 8-inch Japanese-style kitchen knife with a flatter cutting edge and angled K-tip. Its profile supports controlled push cutting, straight chopping, long pull slices, and precise scoring, trimming, or shallow slicing. The manageable 192g Damascus-style patterned blade features a symmetrical double-beveled edge, half-tang construction, and octagonal coloured-sandalwood handle. Its double-beveled geometry makes it suitable for both right-handed and left-handed cooks. Choose a Set of 1, Set of 2, or Set of 3 identical Kiritsuke knives. Use it for vegetables, fruit, herbs, boneless meat and poultry, cooked proteins, fish fillets, and detailed preparation. Cooks who rely heavily on continuous rocking may prefer a more curved chef knife. Hand-wash with mild dish soap and dry immediately. Use a wood or suitable synthetic cutting board and store the edge safely. Avoid bones, frozen food, hard pits, shells, dishwashers, glass, stone, ceramic, twisting, prying, and scraping with the cutting edge.
