This Yuzo 24cm kiritsuke chef knife combines the remarkable precision of Japanese SG2 steel with the elegance of a unique silver damascus. Designed to deliver a clean, long-lasting cut, it embodies the perfect harmony between traditional know-how and modern performance!
A damascus knife with a high-quality cutting edge
Your kiritsuke knife features a 24cm blade with a damascus structure: this is a forging technique that consists of a rigid steel core surrounded by several superimposed layers of softer steel. The result is greater strength and a better balance of hardness.
Here, the core is made of Japanese SG2 powder steel (also known as R2), an alloy enriched with 1.3% carbon to achieve a hardness of 63HRC on the Rockwell scale. You benefit from a high-performance cutting edge and excellent wire retention.
The blade of this Japanese kitchen knife features an elegant silver damask formed by alternating layers ofstainless steel. It has also been polished for a more refined finish.
Noble materials and optimal ergonomics for this handcrafted Japanese knife
The handle is crafted from ebony, a dense, durable wood that is naturally resistant to moisture and impact. The dark veining and deep nuances of this wood make it an elegantly designed Japanese kitchen knife.
The octagonal shape of the handle provides comfortable ambidextrous ergonomics, ideal for prolonged, fatigue-free use!
Finally, two turquoise stone rings adorn the handle, adding character and a unique design to your damascus knife!
