20cm Kutoyama damascus Kiritsuke knife carbon fiber handle

A VG10 damascus kitchen knife

The Kiritsuke knife is a versatile model, ideal for a variety of cuts! Like a chef's knife, it lets you easily mince meat, chop herbs and slice vegetables. Its kiritsuke tip adds precision to your cuts. However, it should not be used on very hard foods such as bones or squash.

This knife features a damascened blade, designed by superimposing several layers of softer steel around a rigid steel core. Here, 66 layers of stainless steel envelop the core of the blade. The blade has also been polished to a mirror-like finish.

The core of this blade is made of VG10 steel, an alloy containing around 1% carbon, which increases hardness to 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This alloy is also rich in chromium and molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Thanks to this hardness, the blade's cutting edge can be maintained with a Sharpening stone or, more frequently, a Sharpening steel.

A sturdy handle for this Kiritsuke knife

The handle of this kitchen knife is made of carbon fiber, a sturdy material that won't warp. It features a rough, dark design embellished with two silver rings. The base is adorned with a mosaic pattern for an extra touch of color.

The handle is octagonal in shape to fit the hands of all cooks, right- or left-handed! It offers a comfortable grip that's practical for prolonged use in the kitchen.

This stainless steel knife is made in China and comes in a box for added protection.

To care for your Kutoyama knife, wash by hand only, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
