8" Handmade Japanese Kiritsuke Chef Knife With Mkuruti Wooden Handle

This high quality kiritsuke is a hybrid knife designed to work as a fish slicer and a vegetable knife. Long and lean, it has a striking hammered sword-like appearance with a sheepfoot tip, and is one of just a few multipurpose blades that are used in Japanese cuisine.

Kiritsukes are best used for slicing and push cuts. These perform well on vegetables, raw fish, and cooked proteins. These knives are not suitable for cuttting bones.
