Forged from Shiroko High Carbon White Steel #2 with a hardness rating of HRC 62-63, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Kiritsuke is designed with a traditional single-edged grind, providing superior edge retention and the ability to achieve a finer edge compared to the Kasumi knives made from the same material. This exceptional knife is perfect for intermediate chefs and comes ready to use right out of the box.
Our handmade Yoshihiro Hongasumi knives showcase the extraordinary skill of our master artisans, creating high-quality knives that are essential for both craftsmanship and performance. The White Steel #2 is beautifully forged with iron, resulting in stunning mist patterns on the blade, with meticulous attention given to the forging and polishing processes.
The Kiritsuke knife serves as a traditional Japanese all-purpose chef's knife, resembling a sword in both form and function. Its length allows it to slice sushi and sashimi with the finesse of a Yanagi, while the wider blade provides the versatility needed for various culinary tasks. The sword tip balances the knife's weight, making it ideal for intricate and precise knife work, elevating even the simplest tasks with its elegance and functionality.
This knife not only delivers exceptional performance but also embodies the artistry of traditional Japanese knife-making, making it a treasured addition to any chef's collection.
