Rosewood Damascus Kiritsuke Knife – 8" Hammered Blade with Engraving

Bring master-level precision and culinary authority into the kitchen with an imposing 12-inch Kiritsuke knife. Traditionally reserved in Japanese kitchens for executive chefs due to its multi-purpose mastery, this blade excels at slicing meats, dicing vegetables, and handling delicate push-cuts with pinpoint accuracy using its signature reverse-tanto tip.

The handle is shaped from select genuine rosewood, providing an ergonomic, comfortable grip featuring deep natural grain tones that counterbalance the blade's forward sweep. It anchors an 8-inch hammered VG10 Damascus steel blade heat-treated to an elite 60 HRC for exceptional razor-edge retention. The hand-hammered tsuchime dimples create tiny air pockets that prevent ingredients from sticking, while the undulating Damascus ripples showcase the exquisite folded steel craftsmanship.
