Noseto Sumi 240mm Kiritsuke Chef Knife
Hand-Forged | 3-Layer VG-10 Steel | G-10 Fiberglass Handle
Elevate your culinary precision with the Noseto Sumi 240mm Kiritsuke Knife-a masterfully hand-forged Japanese blade that merges traditional craftsmanship with modern performance. Designed for chefs who demand both elegance and function, this knife features 3 layers of premium composite steel with a VG-10 high-carbon core, delivering unrivaled sharpness, strength, and durability.

- Precision slicing of fish, sashimi, and raw proteins
- Fine chopping and push-cutting of vegetables
- Delicate carving and presentation prep
The Kiritsuke's extended flat profile ensures maximum contact with the cutting surface, enabling ultra-smooth cuts without rocking.

Why VG-10 Steel?
Developed in Japan, VG-10 ("Gold 10") stainless steel is renowned for its:
- Exceptional hardness (60-62 HRC), allowing the blade to stay sharp longer
- High carbon content, giving it cutting power comparable to carbon steel while retaining stainless properties
- Superior corrosion and rust resistance, even in demanding kitchen environments
- Toughness, reducing the risk of chipping while maintaining a fine, sharp edge
This makes it an ideal steel for professionals who need consistent, long-lasting performance.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid cutting bones or frozen items to prevent chipping.
- Hand wash with warm water; dry thoroughly with a towel.
- Maintain sharpness with a whetstone or professional sharpening system.
- Do not use a dishwasher - high heat and moisture can damage the blade and handle.
