Kiritsuke (Professional Chef)
Versatile Japanese Blade for Skilled Chefs
Kiritsuke knives are versatile traditional Japanese blades, perfect for slicing and vegetable cutting. With a straighter, wider edge than a yanagi and a longer blade than an usuba, they excel at both tasks. Traditionally a chef's status symbol, they require skill to use properly.
Praised worldwide for their sophisticated design, these all-purpose knives with a diagonally cut-off shape are ideal for detailed work, hollowing out, chopping vegetables, and slicing sashimi.
