205mm Kiritsuke — hand-forged from NitroV Stainless, this blade is precision and presence in one. At 205mm the profile balances long-slice capability with nimble control; a commanding 52mm heel gives a confident, athletic bite for push and pull cuts. The vertical cross-peen Tsuchime finish catches the eye, its hammered texture breaking food adhesion while adding visceral, industrial character.
Handle: a matched pair from the same lightning-struck wild cherry—one grain-cut, one cross-cut—both stabilized to lock in color and strength. The result is a unique, living pattern: streaks of shock-dark contrast and swirling crotch figure that feel as singular as the strike that made them. Ergonomically shaped for all-day comfort, the handle sits perfectly in the palm, translating the NitroV edge into precise, repeatable cuts.
This Kiritsuke is a one-of-a-kind utility art piece for cooks who demand performance and provenance: American-forged steel, artisanal hammerwork, and a handle born from a storm.
