Kai Shun Classic DM-0771, Kiritsuke, 20cm

The Kiritsuke knife from Kai is a chef's knife with two special features: a very pronounced, triangular tip and a blade that extends under the handle. These characteristics make it very ergonomic, and it can also handle delicate tasks with ease.

Model: DM-0771

Knife type: Kiritsuke knife, V-grind

Blade length: 20cm

Blade material: Layered Damascus steel with 33 layers, stainless, 61 HRC (+/-1), forged

Handle material: Pakka wood, black

Intended use: The Kiritsuke knife is ideal for slicing fish, meat, and vegetables. The wide blade ensures knuckle clearance. The fine tip is well-suited for delicate tasks. Due to the blade being pulled back under the handle, you can cut "under" your gripping hand when using a rocking chop. This requires even less force than with a conventional chef's knife shape (straight end at the handle)
