The Kiritsuke knife is a traditional Japanese knife that blends elements of a sushi knife and a Yanagiba knife in a smaller form factor. Its profile can be likened to that of a squared off santoku, with a flat cutting edge and a long straight spine. This particular Kiritsuke blade is constructed from high quality VG-10 Damascus steel and has been meticulously hammered for added strength. It is seated in a premium octagonal Olive wood handle and is overall, an absolutely gorgeous knife. If you already own a quality chefs knife, and are looking for something luxurious to provide you with a little bit of precision, this is the perfect knife to pick up.
