_____________________________

The Kiritsuke can perform versatile functions and is the favorite go-to knife of many Japanese chefs.

In fact, in most fine restaurants only the head chef is allowed to use it, therefore the Kiritsuke is often considered to be a symbol of expertise and status.

KOTAI’s Kiritsuke is made of Japanese 440C, a premium steel that balances a high carbon content for hardness, sharpness and edge retention with the perfect amount of chromium to prevent corrosion.
