240mm Kiritsuke — hand forged from NitroV stainless, this blade marries surgical edge retention with a lived-in, artisan surface. The geometry runs 55mm at the heel for powerful, controlled cuts; the blade shows subtle cross-peen Tsuchime that break reflections and add a food release element, while a restrained kurouchi patina at the spine and flats gives the knife an elemental, battle-ready presence.
The handle is a rare, house milled slab of black walnut crosscut where two branches diverged, exposing a pair of natural “black eyes.” Cracks were stabilized with black resin to preserve the wood’s story, and the nose is cleanly capped in black ebony for balance and durability. This Kiritsuke is built for chefs who want a workhorse that reads like a piece of sculpture — bold, precise, and unmistakably singular.
