The Yoshimi Kato SGStrix Kiritsuke Knife (21 cm) is a modern interpretation of a classic Japanese profile, designed for cooks who value precision, sharpness, and visual refinement. Its elongated blade and pointed tip allow for clean, controlled cuts across a wide range of ingredients.
Forged by Yoshimi Kato, the knife features a SGStrix stainless steel core heat-treated to around 65 HRC, delivering exceptional edge retention and a crisp cutting feel. The V Tsuchime hammered finish enhances the blade’s appearance and contributes to practical food release.
An octagonal rosewood handle with a pakka wood ferrule completes the knife, providing stability and comfort during extended use. This Kiritsuke model reflects Yoshimi Kato’s approach to contemporary Japanese craftsmanship—functional, precise, and visually distinctive.
