Kaneshige Hamono 10A Nickel Damascus 67 Layer Kiritsuke Gyuto Knife 210 mm (8.2")

Are you looking for a great alternative to the standard Gyuto chef's knife?

The Kiritsuke knife can be used for a variety of purposes, just like a Gyuto chef knife. Among them, it is often used for chopping vegetables and slicing sashimi. The Kiritsuke knife is the one of the few truly multipurpose traditional Japanese knives and is a wonderful addition to your kitchen.

The shape of the blade is almost the same as that of a Gyuto, but the spine curves up slightly and the tip is cut diagonally from the spine to the tip. By cutting at an angle, the tip is sharper than a regular chef's knife, and can be used for fine work, and hollowing out using the cutting edge.

Useful on food types: Medium to large proteins, variety of vegetables including carrots, onions, garlic, peppers, and lettuce.
