This 210mm kiritsuke - sometimes called a K-tip for its sword-like profile - is built around Ginsan stainless steel, a premium Japanese alloy that takes a genuinely fine edge while staying easy to sharpen and maintain. The flat edge and angled tip give the kiritsuke its characteristic versatility, capable of standing in for both a usuba and a yanagiba depending on the task at hand.
The nashiji finish gives the cladding a soft, pear-skin texture that pairs beautifully with the warm sakura cherry wood handle, and every knife in this line is hand engraved by our friend Akane-san, who also created the elegant calligraphy on the Yahiko box. The even 50/50 grind is neutral and predictable for both right- and left-handed cooks.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer calls it a beautiful knife right out of the box, praising the nashiji finish - this being his second nashiji K-tip purchase - and expects it will make a great prep knife in his kitchen. He also thanks CKTG for great customer service and fast shipping.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry promptly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or leave the knife wet on the board. Store carefully to protect the edge and the engraved details.
