MIYABI Artisan 9.5″ Kiritsuke

This kiritsuke is an all-purpose knife traditionally used only by the Executive Chef in Japanese kitchens. This double-beveled knife with angled tip is best suited to Japanese push or pull cuts and is a great sashimi knife, as it offers the finest in precision cutting. Its straighter edge makes it the ideal knife for chopping and dicing fruits and vegetables.

MIYABI celebrates Japanese craftsmanship with Artisan. Using traditional methods and innovative techniques, these knives merge the past and present into an exceptional knife collection.

The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a stunning Tsuchime finish. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. The CRYODUR blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago.

Crafted with special Cocobolo Rosewood Pakkawood, the handles mirror the beauty of the blade. Sophisticated details include brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin and a stainless-steel end cap. The attractive D-shaped handle is designed to nestle comfortably in your hand for tireless cutting.
