Kiritsuke Knives

The Kiritsuke (切付) is a striking hybrid blade that combines the slicing capabilities of a Yanagiba with the versatile utility of a Gyuto. Distinguished by its flat edge profile and dramatic angled reverse tanto point (K-tip), the Kiritsuke is traditionally considered a status symbol in Japanese kitchens, reserved for executive and master chefs.

At gyuto.com, our collection features modern double-bevel Kiritsuke-Gyuto knives hand-forged from high-carbon and powder stainless steels. Offering exceptional precision for delicate push-cuts, straight slicing, and tip work, each blade pairs aggressive Japanese geometry with lightweight octagonal wa-handles for immaculate balance and control.
