The Tsunehisa Washiji Kiritsuke 21 cm Oak SLD knife is a versatile tool that combines traditional Japanese design with modern materials. Kiritsuke is one of the most recognizable knives in Japanese craftsmanship, characterized by a wide blade with a slightly rounded tip, which makes it ideal for cutting vegetables, fish, or meat. Thanks to its construction, the knife is perfect for precise cuts and for cutting techniques that require a lot of control.
The blade of the Tsunehisa Washiji Kiritsuke knife is made of SLD steel, which combines the advantages of carbon steel with the easier maintenance of stainless steel. SLD steel provides high hardness in the range of 61-62 HRC, which translates into long-lasting sharpness and excellent cutting performance. Although the steel is not completely stainless, it is corrosion-resistant but requires proper care, especially after contact with acidic substances. The Nashiji finish gives the knife a unique appearance, resembling the texture of a pear, while also supporting its durability and protection against rust. Combined with stainless steel cladding, the blade is protected but still retains the flexibility necessary for precise cutting.
The knife’s handle is made of burned oak wood, which not only gives the knife an elegant look but also provides an excellent grip. The octagonal shape of the handle allows for a secure hold, even during prolonged use. Oak wood, thanks to its hardness and durability, works perfectly with the blade, and the burning of the wood adds a characteristic, dark shade that enhances the knife’s aesthetics. Additionally, the handle ensures comfortable work, so the knife fits perfectly in the hand, even when used for a long time.
The Tsunehisa Washiji Kiritsuke 21 cm Oak SLD knife is an excellent choice for any chef looking for a precise tool that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials. Ideal for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables, this knife will satisfy both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.
