Kiritsuke
The Kiritsuke is the definitive master’s knife, instantly recognizable by its aggressive reverse tanto clipped point. Traditionally a single-bevel challenge reserved for executive chefs, the modern Kiritsuke has evolved. Today, many are crafted as double-bevel blades, offering the intimidating aesthetic of the original with the user-friendly versatility of a standard chef's knife.
Its flatter profile is optimized for precise push-cuts and clean slicing, while the sword-like tip excels at delicate detail work. Whether you are prepping proteins or dicing vegetables, the modern Kiritsuke delivers elite performance with a striking, geometric edge.
