The kiritsuke is traditionally a single-bevel knife reserved for executive chefs in Japan - this double-bevel version makes the distinctive angled tip profile accessible to all cooks. The flat edge excels at push cuts through vegetables while the pointed tip handles detail work and protein slicing. At 210mm it is a versatile all-rounder. The tsuchime hammered finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking.
