Straight blade with tanto tip, natural wood handle, imitation leather sheath included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Chef's Knife, Now in Your Kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kiritsuke was traditionally reserved for the head chef in Japan. Two features distinguish it: the angled \u003cstrong\u003etanto tip\u003c\/strong\u003e for precise piercing and incising, and the \u003cstrong\u003eflat blade profile\u003c\/strong\u003e for the push-cut, meaning slicing by pushing rather than rocking. This makes it the most versatile knife in Japanese cuisine: for vegetables, fish, meat, herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 165 g, it is significantly lighter than a European chef's knife. You guide it from the wrist, not the arm, and won't tire even after an hour at the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eC100 Carbon Steel, No Recycled Material\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from C100, a virgin steel with around 1.0% carbon. No old leaf springs, no scrap: controlled steel with consistent hardness of 58 HRC. It takes a finer edge than stainless steel, can be resharpened in minutes, and develops a dark patina over time that protects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandle and Sheath\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe natural wood handle fits ergonomically in the hand, with each grain unique. The imitation leather sheath protects the blade from moisture and makes the knife safely transportable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKiritsuke, Chef Evolution or Mini Kiritsuke?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eKiritsuke\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chef-evolution\"\u003eChef Evolution\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/handgeschmiedetes-kohlenstoffstahl-messer-klein\"\u003eMini Kiritsuke\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e31 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e34 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e26 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 165 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 300 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 100 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eC100 Carbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eC125S Carbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003elight all-round knife, push-cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003elarge cuts of meat, rocking motion, open fire cooking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003epeeling, small cutting tasks, outdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short: The Kiritsuke is the middle ground.
