The Kai Shun Classic Kiritsuke with a blade length of 20 cm is an excellent choice for chefs who value both function and perfect design. This Japanese chef's knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, making it an outstanding tool in any kitchen.
The blade is made of VG MAX stainless steel, a material specifically developed for its superior hardness and edge retention. Surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, the blade not only offers impressive sharpness, but also a beautiful, wave-like pattern that is typical of Damascus knives. This structure not only gives the Kiritsuke an attractive look, but also improved durability and corrosion resistance.
The handle of the knife is made of pakka wood, a wood composite material known for its water resistance and robustness. The ergonomic shape of the handle ensures comfortable and safe handling, which significantly improves precision when cutting. The warm color and fine texture of the pakka wood also provide a pleasant contrast to the shiny damask blade and make the knife an elegant eye-catcher in any kitchen.
The Kai Shun Classic Kiritsuke is therefore ideal for a wide range of cutting tasks, from preparing fish and meat to finely slicing vegetables. With its combination of functionality, durability and aesthetic appeal, this knife is a valuable investment for professional chefs and discerning home cooks alike.
