Luxury and Craftsmanship in Every Cut

The Kazoku Mabushii Kiritsuke 21 cm combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern luxury, offering a premium experience for those who appreciate exquisite details. As the more luxurious version of the Takahiro and Chikara, the Mabushii is meticulously polished to a mirror-like finish, reflecting its name—"Mabushii" meaning blinding in Japanese. This knife is a true work of art, built for both beauty and performance.

Crafted from high-quality Japanese AUS 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC, the Kiritsuke boasts incredible sharpness and edge retention. The blade is further enhanced by 16 layers of stainless steel, creating an elegant play of lines visible along the surface. A hammer-blow treatment ensures that food sticks less during cutting, making every slice smoother and more efficient. Manufactured in Seki, Japan, a region renowned for its knife-making heritage, this knife is a true representation of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.

The traditional octagon-shaped handle, made of Enju (Japanese hardwood), is designed for comfort and stability, even with wet hands. This durable wood is resistant to moisture and requires minimal maintenance, gaining character over time. A simple application of oil will keep the handle in optimal condition, allowing it to develop a unique patina as it ages.

If you’re looking for a premium Japanese knife that blends luxury with functionality, the Kazoku Mabushii Kiritsuke is the perfect choice.
