## Description

Kiritsuke knives feature extremely high hardness (592 HRC) and a unique hand-hammered texture and pattern. Combining traditional hand-forging methods with advanced technology results in a hard 440C Damascus steel that creates a chef's knife of unmatched quality and sharpness. 2.3mm sharp blades make every cut smooth as silk.

Review: Nice quality knife. I find this to be a bit blade heavy, and at first it felt strange in my hand, but perhaps that’s because I’m coming from three different shun Kiritsuke knives. This is a very nice blade and it seems to hold an edge. It is very smooth, so for vegetables they tend to trap. But it makes great precision cuts.
Review: A very sharp and impressive knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in China?**
A: Japanese company, seems like traditional Kiritsuke design; however, NOT MADE IN JAPAN. For a knife not made in Japan, the price is excessive, just like Dalstrong is over priced Chinese manufacturing. The manufacturer also states this is 67 layers of Damascus on some places and 7 layers in some places. This type of sketchy usually means one thing: CHINA.

**Q: Is this a single bevel knife?**
A: Dear Customer. This is a double-edged Japanese Damascus knife. Not a single beveled blade.

**Q: Tienes el afilador para comprar junto?**
A: Estimado. Nuestra tienda tiene piedras de afilar japonesas profesionales disponibles para la compra. Usted puede ir a nuestra tienda para navegar.

**Q: Do this knife comes with a cover o a guard for the blade?**
A: Dear. We don't have a sheath or sheath for this knife for now. We have a professional wooden knife holder available for purchase and use.

*by S***S on 23 March 2023*

I bought this knife a year ago, and as a sous chef at a super busy restaurant my original knife was used for nearly anything and everything I used it for. I unfortunately dropped the first one, (the pearl colored handle) and only lost just the very tip of it. Was able to hone it back to a decent tip, but used it so much and didn’t give it proper care regularly as I should (I didn’t realize how essential this was at first, for all knives) so my original took a beating. Only complaint is that eventually one of the pins on the handle did fall out. However, I loved the comfort, the weight, the look, and the durability of this knife so much I went ahead and got it again in red with the intentions of treating it right this time now that I know better. Best knife and best price. It’s beautiful. They are both so different and individual and I’m so happy with the new one. I’m not one to order the same knife again but was so satisfied with this one I couldn’t help it.
