A traditional alternative to the Western-style chef’s knife, this Japanese-style kiritsuke features a unique shape that’s great for all-round use and a longer blade that makes it a favorite of experienced chefs.
Each knife in the Birchwood collection features 101 layers of steel—50 layers clad on each side of the Cryodur-hardened SG2 microcarbide steel core—forming a delicate Damascus pattern with a Rockwell hardness of 63. Blades are hand-honed using a traditional three-step process. Plus, the D-shape of the natural Masur birch handle creates a comfortable grip and ensures tireless cutting, even with frequent use.
