Traditional Japanese culinary artistry meets modern hand-forged performance.

Hand-forged from multi-layer Damascus steel, this impressive 13" Japanese Kiritsuke chef's knife features a distinct reverse-tanto K-tip profile displaying an intricate ladder/raindrop pattern-welded steel grain. Paired with an octagonal Wa-handle crafted from dark Pakkawood and natural Wenge wood, accented with polished brass ring spacers and a brass ferrule, it comes complete with a custom leather sheath for safe storage and portable carry.
