Muneishi Kurouchi Kiritsuke 21 cm Aogami

The Muneishi Kiritsuke Universal Chef's Knife has a 210 mm blade. It will be useful in the kitchen for most kitchen tasks.

What characterizes the unique Muneishi series of kitchen knives is, above all, the perfect blade profile. The Warikomi production technique uses soft iron cladding. This surrounds a hard core made of Aogami #2 carbon steel. The exceptional hardness of the blade (reaching 63-64 HRC) is possible due to the hardening process. It is thanks to the hardening and heat treatment that Muneishi knives can be sharpened without any problems and retain their sharpness for a long time. The knives have a raw character thanks to the beautiful black finish of the blade, called Kurouchi. Their oval handle is made of cherry wood, and its original finish is an aesthetic red ferrule.

Muneishi knives require care after each use. Washing and drying the knife prevents rust from forming.
