Handmade Japanese Kiritsuke Knife Set – 3 Piece Forged Chef Knives

Full Description:

Bring the ultimate precision of traditional Japanese cutlery into your kitchen. This 3-Piece Custom Handmade Kiritsuke Chef Knife Set is engineered specifically for culinary enthusiasts who value razor-sharp geometry and clean, effortless cuts. The Kiritsuke profile is known as the true multitasker in Japanese kitchens, combining the strengths of a slicing knife (Sujihiki) and a vegetable knife (Nakiri).

Flawless Mirror Polish & Laser-Sharp Geometry Each blade is meticulously hand-forged and polished to a gleaming finish. The signature sword-like tip allows for incredibly intricate decorative cuts, under-cutting, and piercing, while the straight, flat edge is ideal for clean push-cuts and rocking chops without tearing delicate ingredients like raw fish, herbs, or wagyu beef.

Traditional Octagonal Wood Wa-Handles Crafted with an authentic octagonal “Wa-shape,” these handles feature premium natural grained wood sandwiched between polished black resin collars. The geometric design locks naturally into your hand, offering a superior non-slip grip for both right and left-handed chefs. This set provides the lightweight, front-balanced feel required for hours of tireless food preparation.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

• Hand Wash Only: Never put handmade wood-handled knives into a dishwasher. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap instantly after use.

• Dry Immediately: Do not leave them wet in a sink or on an air-drying rack. Dry them completely with a clean towel right away.

• Protect the Steel & Wood: Apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil, knife wax, or camellia oil to the blade to prevent oxidation, and occasionally oil the wood handles to keep them vibrant.

• Use Proper Cutting Surfaces: Always use wooden, plastic, or rubber cutting boards. Never cut on glass, granite, or ceramic countertops, as this will chip the razor edge.
