A perfect blend of tradition and modernity
This 21 cm kiritsuke knife is designed for demanding cooks looking for a versatile knife that combines precision, aesthetics and comfort. Its profile combines the linear cutting edge of the Japanese chef's knife (or gyuto knife) for vegetables and the fine point of the kiritsuke knife for precision, making this tool a versatile and efficient companion.
Damascus knife: cutting edge at the peak of Japanese craftsmanship
The forging process for this blade includes a damascus structure: multiple layers of flexible steel are forged around a rigid steel core. This creates a unique visual effect, as each blade has its own undulating pattern, a true imprint of the craftsman. Damascus also brings strength and a balance of suppleness to your Japanese kitchen knife.
The heart of this kiritsuke chef's knife is SG2 powdered steel (also known as R2), a high-end Japanese alloy renowned for its remarkable hardness of 63HRC on the Rockwell scale. This high hardness is conferred by the high carbon content of up to 1.3%, which ensures excellent retention of the cutting edge.
This blade features an elegant silver damascus finish combined with a polished finish for a refined look!
The handle: tradition and comfort in the hand for this handcrafted Japanese knife
Carved from dense, resistant ebony wood , the octagonal handle ensures a stable, secure grip. Its symmetrical shape makes it perfect for both right- and left-handed users.
Two decorative turquoise stone rings harmoniously adorn the handle, underlining the aesthetic care given to each Yuzo knife.
The result: a handle that's light, well-balanced and robust, designed to last for years to come!
