The Kiritsuke Profile. Pure Carbon Edge.
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. 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. Shirogami carbon steel takes a keener, more refined edge than stainless. The stainless cladding protects the reactive core on the sides of the blade. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only - never dishwasher
Wipe dry immediately after use - the carbon steel core is reactive
A natural patina will develop on the edge with use - this is normal and protects the steel
Sharpen on Japanese water stones - takes an exceptionally fine edge
Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
