This kiritsuke is hand-forged from Shiro #2 carbon steel and paired with a stabilised juniper wood handle — light, nimble, and built for everyday use in the kitchen. Its tall blade profile makes it perfect for chopping herbs and vegetables, with plenty of knuckle clearance and a straight edge for clean, confident cuts.
Details:
Steel: 3mm Shiro #2 carbon steel
Grind: Convex, for cleaner food release
Finish: Light forced patina, giving you a head start before your own patina develops naturally with use. Shiro #2 reacts quickly to acidic food, so it's important to clean and dry the blade after each use.
Carbon steel rewards a little care — please follow our maintenance guide while your patina builds. For ongoing upkeep, we'd recommend our own handcrafted, food-safe Knife Wax, which protects the blade and keeps it performing at its best.
