Japanese Knives Kiritsuke Knives

Kiritsuke knives are known as “masters knives” meaning that once you’ve attained a certain skill level all tasks can be completed with this knife shape. Kiritsuke is intended as a general purpose knife for use in preparing traditional Japanese cuisine. The kiritsuke’s reverse tanto profile makes the pointed tip very nimble but also delicate while the flat profile lends itself well to chopping and push cutting.
