    What Is a Kiritsuke Knife?

    The Kiritsuke knife is a hybrid of the gyuto and yanagiba—flat-edged, long, and crowned with a sharp k-tip. Designed for push-cutting, slicing, and intricate prep, it’s a symbol of precision and mastery in Japanese kitchens. Ideal for chefs who value control and presentation.

    VG-10 vs AUS-10 Damascus

    • VG-10 Damascus Kiritsuke – Ultra-sharp edge retention and a dramatic layered pattern; built for professional precision.
    • AUS-10 Damascus Kiritsuke – Tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain—excellent for daily prep.

    Both steels embody the beauty and performance of a true Japanese Kiritsuke chef knife, each layered to perfection with distinct Damascus grain.
