Kiritsuke is a large, all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife. Initially, this knife is a hybrid of usuba and yanagiba and historically had a single bevel blade. In Japan, kiritsuke was used only by privileged chefs, as it was believed that using this knife requires great professionalism. Today, kiritsuke is most often produced with double bevel.
The blade of the kiritsuke is narrower than that of the chef's knife gyuto, which gives this knife the properties of a slicer. The blade length is from 20 cm, the cutting edge is straight. A distinctive feature of the kiritsuke is a sharp bevel of the spine to the tip. This "tanto" profile creates a sharp tip that can be used for precise cuts.
The kiritsuke kitchen knife has recently become increasingly popular, and for good reason: it combines the qualities of a chef's knife and a slicer, suitable for many tasks in the kitchen. In our store you can buy a kiritsuke knife with delivery. Both classic models with single bevel blades and wa-handles, and kiritsuke with double bevel blades and western handles are presented.
