Description
Known as the master chef’s knife, the kiritsuke is used for all the tasks for which you would use a chef’s knife and offers top cutting performance and versatility. The striking looking Shun Classic Kiritsuke is ideal for slicing and push cuts. Julienne, dice, or brunoise vegetables with ease. It is also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, and particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins easily and gracefully. The Shun Classic Kiritsuke also features a slightly curved edge so that it even works well with rocking cuts.
The deep bellied blade keeps your knuckles clear of the board while chopping, slicing, and dicing. The fine blade profile allows the knife to glide through the food effortlessly, allowing you to expend less effort with every cut compared to heavier German blades. And the contoured D-shaped PakkaWood handle will fit snugly in your hand for a secure grip.
