Serving as a fusion of Chef's knife and Nakiri knife, the Kiritsuke knife truly lives up to its all-purpose reputation. Compared to a Chef's knife, its blade has less curve, allowing for various cutting techniques such as pushing the knife forward, pulling backward, rocking, and chopping.
Additionally, its sharp tip proves especially useful for efficient detailed work, like making fine cuts of onion. Product Details Origin: Handmade by artisans in Seki, Japan
