170mm San Mai Kiritsuke — an intimate powerhouse for precision and push-cut work. At its heart, an Aogami #2 core delivers razor-edge retention and superior toughness, laminated inside stainless cladding for excellent edge stability and ease of maintenance. The blade’s vertical Tsuchime pattern is hand-struck with a cross-peen hammer, creating a refined, rhythmic texture that splits cleanly and releases food with minimal sticking.
Blade length: 170mm — balanced for controlled slicing, delicate tip work, and everyday kitchen tasks. The profile marries the knife’s traditional Japanese Kiritsuke silhouette with modern utility: a clipped-tip for precision and a long, slightly tapered spine for confident, versatile cuts.
Handle: wild-foraged madrone burl, stabilized and contoured for an ergonomic feel that sits naturally in the hand. Deep, organic figuring brings warmth and one-of-a-kind visual drama; an ebony nose cap provides a refined counterpoint and durable end grain for striking, long-term resilience.
A focused, elegant tool for chefs and serious cooks who demand refined performance and singular character — hand-forged in America, truly one of a kind.
