Masashi Nashiji Black Kiritsuke 210mm SLD

The Kiritsuke knife, with its wide profile, has a very versatile application and is extremely popular in Western cuisine. This knife is a combination of Gyuto and Nakiri knives, possessing the most valuable features of both. The entire production process of these beautiful knives is manual and is carried out by Masashi-san. The master of the art himself forges the steel, but also applies the grinds, sharpens the knife, and finally sets the handle. The forging of knives from the Masashi SLD series is carried out using the SAN-MAI technique. The blade consists of 3 layers and has a very hard core forged from SLD steel. The outer layers are made of soft stainless steel, which have the task of protecting the core. The San-mai production technique guarantees that the blades are flexible and durable. During heat treatment, the knives achieve an extremely high hardness (in the range of 60-62 HRC). To ensure the knives have a unique Japanese look, the Kurouchi blade finish uses unprocessed black steel. In turn, light pakkawood is used to make the octagonal handle in the “WA” style. It is comfortable to use for both right-handed and left-handed people.
