9.5" Kiritsuke Custom

Custom 9.5" AEBL Steel Satin Finished Blade + Black Paper Micarta + Ivory Snake Skin Juma + Blue Dyed Elder Burl + Black & White G10 Liners

This is our adaptation of the classic Kiritsuke, a very versatile kitchen knife that can be used to perform many of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto.  Kiritsuke knives are a hybrid design combining features of Japanese usubas and yanagibas . Usubas are dedicated vegetable knives while yanagibas are used to slice raw fish for sushi. The Kiritsuke’s reverse tanto profile makes the pointed tip very nimble and sharp while the flat profile lends itself well to chopping and push cutting. Featuring excellent geometry, full distal taper and convex bevel for outstanding performance and food release, our Kiritsuke has a slightly larger belly which is perfect to rock-chop produce. When using push and pull cuts, the Kiritsuke is perfect for use on a variety of proteins because of this thinner and sharper edge, as well as making extremely fine cuts due to the tip of the knife being thin.

With innovative materials and meticulous design, we strive to deliver an indispensable tool that is not only functional but unique and beautiful as well. We take pride in crafting cutlery that allows you to be more versatile and productive in the kitchen, invoking creativity, whether you are making a meal for yourself, a feast for friends, or your loyal customers
