Mini Kiritsuke — Aogami 2 blade, Orchard Pistachio handle
A compact masterpiece for precise kitchen work. The blade is hand-forged from Aogami 2, prized for its edge retention and responsive hardness: a razor-ready profile that takes and holds a refined, hair-popping edge while still offering a lively, easy-to-tune patina. The kiritsuke silhouette blends a fine, acute tip for delicate slicing and intricate garnishing with a flatter belly for clean push-cuts and thin, consistent slices.
The handle is wild orchard pistachio, stabilized to endure daily use while showcasing the wood’s natural, swirling figure—soft cream, green-olive flecks, and warm amber veins that read like a small orchard captured in resin and grain. Ergonomically balanced for control in the pinch grip yet comfortable for extended prep, this one-of-a-kind pairing of premium Japanese steel and foraged American wood is built for cooks who prize precision and character.
Specs (approximate)
Blade steel: Solid Aogami 2 (Japanese Blue #2) from Hitachi
Length: 2.75”
Handle: Stabilized orchard pistachio — unique figure, sealed and finished for durability
Edge: Honed to a kitchen-ready acute angle, holds exceptionally well
Purpose-built, singular, and made in America — a small knife with big intent.
