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.

• 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.
