KIRITSUKE — 7.1” JAPANESE KNIFE Distinctive, precise, and beautifully balanced, the Kiritsuke brings together the versatility of a Chef’s knife with the clean, controlled cutting style of a Nakiri. Its flatter blade profile moves effortlessly through vegetables with smooth push and pull cuts, while a subtle curve allows for a natural rocking motion when needed. The sharply angled tip offers added precision for finer work—from delicate slicing and detailed onion cuts to trimming and preparing proteins. Handmade by skilled artisans in Seki, Japan, a city with centuries of blade-making tradition, each knife is crafted with an appreciation for both performance and simplicity. A VG-10 steel core provides exceptional sharpness and lasting edge retention, while the walnut handle feels warm and naturally balanced in hand. Elegant enough to leave on display and versatile enough to reach for every day, the Kiritsuke is a beautifully considered kitchen essential—made for cooks who appreciate exceptional tools and the quiet pleasure of using something well made.
