Collection: Kiritsuke

What makes Kiritsuke special?

Many people say that Kiritsuke means high status. This is because it takes time and a lot of practice to learn how to use it correctly. The best cooks can use this knife in a way that it's hard to tell how they're doing it. It seems like the ingredients fall apart almost like magic. Kiritsuke is a knife that can be used for many things. You can use it to make sushi, carpaccio, and many other dishes with delicate, soft ingredients. The double-bevel blade can slice raw meat with just one smooth cut. It can also make it easier to prepare fish, especially when you're taking off the skin.

What does a Kiritsuke look like?

Kiritsuke is a knife used to prepare sushi. It has a very dynamic, even aggressive line. It's made in the same way as other traditional Japanese knives, like the Yanagiba and Usuba (chef's knife). Kiritsuke is about the same length as Yanagiba, but it has the blade profile of Usuba. The tip of the blade is cut at a sharp angle, which allows these two types of blades to be used together in one tool. Kiritsuke can be sharpened on one or both sides. Single-bevel knives are great for cooking, but they need to be used by someone who knows what they're doing. On the other hand, double bevel Kiritsuke knives are easier to use and just as useful.
Kiritsuke is a knife used for more than just preparing sushi. What else can it be used for?
Kiritsuke can replace Yanagi, Usuba, or Yanagiba knives in the kitchen. It's great for cutting and filleting fish, and you can also use it to slice fish for sushi or sashimi. It also goes well with vegetables and fruit. It's no wonder people see Kiritsuke as a universal knife. However, it is more often used by professionals because it takes time to learn how to use a knife like this. The product is great for people who love meat, as well as those who are vegan or vegetarian. The Kiritsuke handle fits comfortably in the hand, and the knife itself is light and very sharp, so cutting through hard and soft foods is easy. The Kiritsuke is a great tool for cutting fish. It makes each piece of fish smooth, not frayed, and the meat stays firm and juicy. But these knives are not only useful for cooking fish. You can also use the Kiritsuke knife to slice beets, tomatoes, or cucumbers.

Is a Kiritsuke knife a good gift idea?

A Kiritsuke knife is not as useful as a Usuba or Deba knife, but it makes a perfect gift for people who love Japanese cuisine and those who like interesting design. Kiritsuke knives look different from other knives. The blade is shaped to allow for fast, powerful hand movements. It lets the chef do each task quickly and well. Once you have learned to use it for cutting or slicing, you will be able to prepare dishes quickly and make them look better. Like all Japanese knives, the Kiritsuke knife is known for its excellent craftsmanship. To make this product, manufacturers from Japan use the best steel and natural wood. This makes the tool sharp, hard, and resistant to wear. It is also lightweight and easy to use. Kiritsuke is for everyone—professional chefs and amateur cooking enthusiasts alike. The knife will be a beautiful decoration for the host's home and a special display.
