The steel

Why the Kiritsuke?

A VG10 Japanese steel core wrapped in 67 layers of Fireball-pattern Damascus, hand sharpened the traditional Honbazuke way. One of the few Japanese blades that can do almost everything.

67 Layers
Damascus folded around the core for toughness, corrosion resistance and the Fireball pattern.
HRC 62 Hardness
A hard VG10 core that takes a fine edge and holds it.
3-stage Honbazuke edge
Sharpened and polished by hand in three stages, double bevelled.
K-tip Profile
Rock chop, push cut or pull cut: it suits every cutting style.

Knife

It is a great blade to use. You do have to watch your finger as the blade points backwards near the handle. Also I wanted the blue coloured handle but received the green.

Kiritsuke

Working in a professional kitchen requires me to have a strong and reliable knife which this is. The edges give it a perfect slicing end to carve and mark while the blade gives a beautiful cutting angle. The knife itself is gorgeous and with every handle being unique gives it that personal touch, I 100% reccomend this for home and professional use to everyone

Quality

This knife is superb quality, the best knife I have ever bought. It is super sharp,lightweight,and a pleasure to use. Will definitely by more of these knives.

Producto bueno.!!

A ver, seré sincero, me ha tardado casi un mes en llegar, pero el servicio al cliente siempre ha sido bueno.

El cuchillo, maravilloso, es grande eh, pero vamos, grande!! Y mu bonito, eso sí, bien afilado, por lo que hay que tener cuidado.

Por soltar otros datos, te viene bien empaquetado, y la caja es bonita, recomiendo pagar los 10 euros de más (Moneda de España) para tener seguridad en tu envío por si se pierde, como dije al inicio me tardo, pero porque vivo en un pueblo de Catalunya fantasma, si no, al igual me llegaba al día siguiente.

Como sea, por lo demás bien, lo recomiendo para tener cuchillos bonitos de decoración o colección.

Wow!!!

I bought this knife for my husband's birthday and when he opened the package he was extremely happy, he loves it ☺️
It's very well made and excellent quality.
Thank you Santoku Knives ❤️

This knife is life.

What a beautiful blade. The handle being unique adds to its gorgeous-Ness. And the quality is amazing. I'm only an amature cook. But I use this for everything. So versatile. Will buy more. Also not to forget. The service. 5 stars on its own.
