Hybrid Chef’s Knife

Recognizable by its striking tanto-style tip, the Kiritsuke is a hybrid blade combining the slicing ability of a Yanagiba with the versatility of a Gyuto. Vintage hand-forged Kiritsukes were crafted from high-carbon steel, offering exceptional edge retention and a commanding feel in the hand.

Known as a symbol of mastery, the Kiritsuke excels at slicing, chopping, and precision cuts — making it one of the most versatile and admired traditional Japanese knives.
