Blade Type
The Kiritsuke knife, a symbol of expertise in Japanese cuisine, is traditionally used by executive chefs. This multi-purpose knife combines features of a slicer and a vegetable knife, with its angled tip and long blade. It excels in precise slicing, chopping, and julienning, making it a prestigious and versatile tool.

Steel Type
Japanese SLD steel is a semi-stainless steel crafted through advanced metallurgy. It is used often in Sanjo knives, has a non-chippy edge and is extremely tough. This high-carbon steel, enriched with chromium and molybdenum, offers excellent performance, but be mindful not to leave it wet for extended periods.

Care Information
This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.


Introducing
Hatsukokoro
Based in Amagasaki, Hatsukokoro partners closely with a wide network of skilled Japanese blacksmiths (Think Yoshikane, Myojin, Yauji and many more) and manufacturers to create an expansive range of kitchen knives. Their approach is rooted in collaboration — drawing on the strengths of various makers across Japan to develop collections that span from accessible entry-level pieces to exceptional high-performance tools.

Some of our reviews
This thing IS THE BUSINESS!
Words can't explain how amazing this knife is to use and gaze at! It's my second bunka and my go to knife for everyday prep. Gyuto's aren't getting a look in at the moment. I LOVE it. Thanks Chefs Edge 👊🏽

Super Thin Bevels
The bevels being so thin makes it easy to achieve a crazy sharp edge and cut dense vegetables rather than splitting them. The kiritsuke tip also makes precise cuts such as on garlic possible. A pleasure to use

James Palmer
Great product, great service
Very happy with my purchase. First time customer, ordered and received a knife that had a chip which occurred during shipment. The staff at Chefs Edge were very prompt in communication and really helpful in resolving the matter. They sent out a new knife and arrived in time for a birthday. The knife itself is great quality and looks better than the photos. Overall, very happy and will be a return customer!

Beautiful Knife
As the title says, an absolutely beautiful knife. Even better than the photos. Shipping was also reasonable. Very happy, would definitely recommend.

Kyle Kidder
Fantastic knife with beautifully curated handle
Got this as a gift for one of my younger cooks who has been going above and beyond this year. Not only is the caretaking aspect of high carbon steels such as shirogami a great teacher for any future knives they may own, but its such a beautiful tsuchime finish with a fantastic grind that I found myself drooling over it aswell. 10/10 recommend not only Tsunehisa as a maker but Chefs Edge as a curator and purveyor of immaculate kitchen knives.

Best bread knife ever !
it was best decision for me to purchase this knife! Smooth and effortless prep! Especially working with 300-500 portion !

Axel Lemasoa
Perfect knife!
It was absolutely razor sharp knife. Lightweight even if it’s 240mm knife. Thanks chef’s edge, it came also fast and secured with a beautiful delivery box.
