Serving as a fusion of Chef's knife and Nakiri knife, the Kiritsuke knife truly lives up to its all-purpose reputation. Compared to a Chef's knife, its blade has less curve, allowing for various cutting techniques such as pushing the knife forward, pulling backward, rocking, and chopping.
Additionally, its sharp tip proves especially useful for efficient detailed work, like making fine cuts of onion.

Why This Knife?
Where utility meets precision
Having a knife that performs many tasks well is always a must-have in any kitchen, but one that executes with refined precision is the absolute gold standard. The Kiritsuke is that kind of knife, with its unique shape and intentional design for utility.
Made with VG-10 Steel
Cutlery blades are made with a variety of steels, and VG-10 is by far the best overall choice of steel to work with in most kitchen environments, in my experience. It's an incredible blend of excellent edge retention, durability, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance—perfect for pros and home cooks alike.
Finding Inspiration
Sometimes all you need is a beautiful knife to inspire you to get back in there, and whip up something truly special. Hitting a creative wall in the kitchen happens to me all the time, but a simple piece of exquisite cutlery paired with seasonal ingredients can get me motivated unlike anything else. Kiritsuke is just that kind of knife.
Unique knives gets people talking
When I worked in Michelin starred kitchens with acclaimed chefs such as Thomas Keller and Gordon Ramsay, having a knife that stood out usually meant you were someone to pay attention to. It meant you cared about the details, and that'll get any colleague or superior's attention. I only wish I had this knife about a decade earlier.
