Shun Premier Kiritsuke Knife, 8"

The Japanese version of a chef's knife, the kiritsuke excels for precision slicing & cutting of meat & vegetables. This long, deft knife with a clipped tip is also a chef favourite for cleaning & portioning fish. Shun's Premier collection is distinguished by hand-hammered blades that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives.

• Blade features core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless-steel.
• Striking hand-hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting & helps to quickly release food from blade.
• Walnut-finish PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts & perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Each knife is handmade by skilled specialists, requiring at least 100 steps to craft.

• 8" blade, 5 1/2" handle.
• 8.9 oz.
• Handcrafted in Japan.

Additional Information

• Stainless-steel end cap embossed with Shun logo adds stability, strength & wide weight distribution from end to end.
• Full tang provides strength & balance.
• Japanese blade angle of 16 degrees.
• NSF-certified knife meets high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use & honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.

• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge & prevent injury.
