KC-815 Namishibuki Kiritsuke 210mm Damascus Kitchen Knife

To make the KC-815 Namishibuki kiritsuke, many processes and many craftsmen are involved, and no effort is spared. It takes about a year to be completed!

The Japanese kiritsuke is a typically longer knife with a single bevel blade that is ground on only one side to razor sharpness. It has a stylistic reverse-tanto tip which reminds one of the samarai sword. This design offers a super long and straight edge like a yanagiba-meets-usuba, that perfects preparations of soft meats such as chicken, duck, and fish, while slaying through delicate herbs and vegetables.

These feature an amazing 101 layers of Damascus with an abrasion-resistant, high speed powder steel core to an HRC: 61±0.5. The handle is black wood w/a red micarta ring handle. You will appreciate the incredible sharpness of the blade. It will outperform due to a sophisticated technique, backed by years of abundant experience and knowledge. 

The classy octagonal handle, "八角柄 Hackaku-e", is polished to fascinating elegance. The handle end is engraved with the Kanetsune, Seki brand logo mark "Kumadori".
