Crafted in Japan using a manufacturing method inherited from the samurai sword, the kiritsuke knife has a razor-sharp blade and sand-filled handle for the ideal weight and balance. Traditionally used for slicing, the knife boasts a size and shape that lets you chop, carve, dice and mince. The Cromova 18 stainless steel blade is ice-tempered and hardened to 56–58 on the Rockwell scale and sharpened by both ceramic water sharpener and whetstone. You'll love its superior performance and the comfort provided by its unique dimple-patterned, perfectly weighted handle.
