XITUO 8 Inch Kitchen Chef Knife 7 Layer Composite 440C

Kiritsuke knives are one of the few multipurpose traditional Japanese blades that can be used as a Yanagi (fish slicer) or an Usuba (vegetable knife).
It is a very versatile knife that can be used to perform many of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto (Chef’s knife).

• 7 Layers US 440C Steel Composite Steel- using high-quality steel, 7-layer composite steel as the core of the blade, combined with the high-carbon soft steel layer lost on each side, forming a beautiful and simple texture on the blade, high level of rust resistance, wear resistance, long-lasting performance And maximum sharpness. The hardness reaches 62HRC.
• Its lightweight, double bevel edged can be used to perform many of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto (Chef’s knife).
• A Truly Versatile Chef’s Knife (Kiritsuke) due to its ability to Rock and Chop and suite all cutting styles
• Highly Durable Blades – Each blade is individually tempered and has been sharpened by 8-12 degrees on each side by experienced craftsmen. This maintains high durability without rusting or dulling even after prolonged use.
• Fireball Damascus Steel Billet Pattern
• Octagonal Handle – Handle made of Stable wood + carbon fibre, durable, highly resistant to heat, cold and moisture. To ensure a perfect ergonomic design, each handle is subjected to a rigorous finishing process.
• Double Bevel Sharpened by Hand using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke method where the blade is sharpened and polished by hand in three stages

Forged with imported VG-10 stainless steel – for the core blade material and 66 layers of Damascus Steel this blade will last a lifetime.

Our Kiritsuke Octagonal Handle is made from wood, which is chemically stabilized. The stabilizing process makes the wood tougher and supper durable and less likely to warp or crack.

The Kiritsuke style of knife is suited to “rock chopping“, “push cutting” and “pull cutting“. our take on the Kiritsuke blade has been vigorously tested to be a true well-rounded knife.
