The handcrafted 21 cm Yuzo Black AS burnt oak kiritsuke knife embodies Japanese cutlery mastery. Forged by Tsunehisa Cutlery in Japan, this Japanese kitchen knife combines tradition and innovation to offer a versatile blade, ideal for everyday use!
High-precision blade for this handcrafted Japanese knife
The 21 cm blade features a San Maï structure: a core of Aogami Super Steel wrapped in a layer of stainless steel folded in on itself, ensuring excellent strength. Blue Super Steel is enriched with approximately 1.5% carbon to achieve a hardness of 65HRC Rockwell: the cutting edge is high-performance and will remain so for a long time! Its rough forged finish and hammer marks give it an authentic character and a typically Japanese style.

The handle, made from Kyûshû oak wood, is partially burnt for added strength and elegant contrast. Shaped octagonally for a comfortable, stable grip, this Yuzo knife can be used by both right- and left-handers. Wood paste is applied between the tang and the wood to ensure watertightness and durability.
