Japanese 8.5 Inch Kiritsuke Knife, Sandvik 12C27 Stainless Steel, G10

This 8.5-inch Kiritsuke knife features a blade forged from Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. Renowned for its purity and consistency, 12C27 steel contains a balanced carbon content and achieves a hardness of HRC 60–61, striking the ideal balance between edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its fine microstructure ensures excellent cutting performance even after prolonged use, while remaining easy to resharpen—making it suitable for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

The handle is crafted from high-strength G10 composite material, a laminate of fiberglass and epoxy resin. The three spikes provide a stable grip and security. Its clean geometric lines, combined with Japanese aesthetics, deliver both functionality and elegance.

As a Kiritsuke-style knife, the blade’s straight edge and sharp tip allow for precise slicing, filleting, and vegetable cutting, while also handling tasks typical of a chef’s knife. It merges the accuracy of a Yanagiba with the versatility of a Santoku, making it a multi-purpose tool that excels in professional and home kitchens alike.
