The Hybrid Blade That Does What a Chef Knife and Kiritsuke Can't Do Alone. The Spaceman Knives Perseus Kiritsuke is a kiritsuke-tipped chef knife that combines two blade styles into one versatile tool. The kiritsuke tip gives you extra precision for detail work, while the chef knife profile handles everyday kitchen tasks. AUS-10 Japanese steel with feathered Damascus patterning and a premium olive wood handle complete the package.

The Perseus Kiritsuke takes the best part — that angular, pointed tip — and puts it on a double-bevel chef knife profile that anyone can use. You get the precision of a kiritsuke for detailed cuts and the versatility of a chef knife for everything else. It's the best of both worlds.
