Unmatched Precision and Craftsmanship in Every Cut

The Kazoku Royal Blue Kiritsuke 19.5 cm is a Japanese chef’s knife that delivers exceptional performance at an unbeatable price. With its 19.5 cm blade, this versatile kiritsuke is perfect for a wide variety of cutting tasks, including meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Designed to meet the demands of both professional chefs and home cooks, this knife offers the sharpness, precision, and durability you need for all your culinary creations.

Japanese AUS10 Steel

The sharpness and longevity of this knife are due to the premium AUS10 steel, a competitor of VG10 steel with nearly identical properties. Known for its high hardness (60-61 HRC), AUS10 steel ensures the blade stays sharp for a long time, while allowing it to be finely honed at a 15-degree angle for exceptional precision. The blade is designed to be extra thin, providing effortless cutting with minimal resistance. The hard core is encased in three layers of softer steel, which protect the blade and improve its resilience. The sandblasted middle layer adds a beautiful contrast to the high-gloss finish of the exterior, enhancing the knife’s overall aesthetic.

As a final touch, the blade is hammered in the traditional tsuchime style, resulting in a stunning pattern. This hammered texture not only adds character to the knife but also reduces friction, ensuring that food doesn’t stick to the blade during use.

Ergonomic and Elegant Pakka Wood Handle

The handle of the Kazoku Kiritsuke is made from royal blue Pakka wood, a material that combines the natural beauty of wood with the low-maintenance durability of plastic. The handle offers a comfortable, secure grip, making it easy to control the knife with precision. Its striking royal blue color adds a bold, artistic touch, transforming this functional tool into a work of art.
