The Kiritsuke knife is a long-bladed Japanese knife that combines a sashimi knife with a paring knife. It's suitable for a variety of kitchen tasks and is a versatile tool for cutting meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs.
The Osaka knife was handcrafted, from forging and hardening to grinding and sharpening. The blade is made of 440C steel – a martensitic steel with a high carbon content commonly used in Japanese blades. The steel is abrasion and corrosion resistant and does not react with cut food. The blade has a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC, making it exceptionally hard and retaining its edge perfectly.
The knife's handle is crafted from olive wood, a highly aesthetically pleasing material. The wood's distinctive grain, with its high contrast and bright colours, lends the knife a natural look and makes each piece unique. Combined with the decorative pattern on the blade, these features make Osaka series knives a unique and eye-catching accent in any kitchen.
The knife is packaged in an elegant wooden box, making it a perfect gift for an avid cook.
