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.


The Kiritsuke is a versatile hybrid between a chef's knife and a Yanagiba (slicing knife). Traditionally reserved for executive chefs in Japanese kitchens, its distinctive straighter edge and angled tip offer superior control for:

  • 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.


Knife Specifications:

  • Blade Length: 240mm
  • Blade Thickness: 2mm
  • Blade Material: 3-layer clad steel with VG-10 steel core
  • Hardness: 60-62 HRC (Rockwell scale)
  • Edge Angle: 15° per side - razor-sharp for precision slicing
  • Handle: Ergonomic G-10 fiberglass handle - water-resistant, non-slip, and built for endurance
  • Craftsmanship: Hand-forged using traditional Japanese techniques for a refined finish and optimal performance


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.
