The Kiritsuke Profile
The Kiritsuke combines the flat blade profile of a Nakiri with the length and versatility of a Gyuto, topped with a distinctive angled reverse-tanto tip that gives it its unmistakable silhouette. Traditionally a single-bevel knife reserved for head chefs in Japan, this double-bevel version makes the profile accessible to all skill levels. The flat blade excels at the push-cut style through vegetables, while the length handles proteins and larger prep tasks. G3 Ginsan steel is made by Hitachi Metals - a stainless steel with the sharpening feel of classic white carbon steel. Made in Tosa, Japan by Tsunehisa.
