This kiritsuke is meticulously crafted using the san mai technique and shaped by laser cutting for flawless construction throughout. Its exterior carries a hammered Damascus stainless cladding that combines strength with genuine visual artistry, while the VG-10 core at the center of the blade delivers the durability and edge retention this steel is known for throughout Japanese cutlery.
A special tempering process at Takayuki achieves a hardness of 60 HRC while keeping the steel genuinely easy to sharpen, and the even 50/50 bevel grind makes the knife a versatile choice for both right- and left-handed cooks. At 256mm blade length and 36mm height, the knife is agile yet substantial in hand, weighing just 6.6 ounces. The red pakka wood handle provides a comfortable grip and a touch of refinement to round out a knife that delivers genuine craftsmanship at an accessible price.
Care Instructions: VG-10 is a fully stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones as needed.
