Blade Type
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
Steel Type Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Beatiful, sharp & nice weight

Beautiful tsushime & damscus, the tsushime almost reminds me of a kurouchi finish because of its darker colour, which I really like. It came nice and sharp out of the box, unfortunately though, the box got damaged during the shipping process

Amazing knife

I purchased the Nigara Hamono VG10 Tsuchime Damascus Kiritsuke 240mm, it arrived quickly and the quality is unmatched. It was bigger than I thought it would be, but is so lightweight, using it is a breeze. It is insanely sharp and is holding it's edge great so far
