Kiritsuke Knives

The Ultimate All-Purpose Japanese Blade

The Kiritsuke knife is a symbol of mastery in Japanese culinary arts, often referred to as the “master chef’s knife.” With its long, flat edge and pointed tip, the Kiritsuke is a versatile blade designed for precision slicing, chopping, and delicate cuts. Traditionally, it is used for preparing sushi, sashimi, and other intricate dishes, combining the functionality of both a chef’s knife and a slicing knife.

At Koto Blades, we proudly offer a collection of premium Kiritsuke knives crafted from Damascus steel, high-carbon steel, and other superior materials. Each knife is handcrafted to perfection, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern performance for unparalleled cutting precision and durability.
