MITSUMOTO SAKARI 9-Inch Japanese Kiritsuke Knife, 3-layer 9Cr18MoV steel

• Japanese Kiritsuke Chef Knife: The 9-inch Kiritsuke knife combines an angled tip with a flatter cutting edge, helping this Japanese chef knife handle push cuts, long slicing strokes, scallions, onions, herbs, vegetables and boneless proteins with precise cutting control.
• San-Mai Hand-Forged Steel: The 3-layer 9Cr18MoV high carbon stainless steel blade is hand forged with a hard cutting core and outer cladding, giving this Japanese knife a structured build for balanced cutting strength.
• Angled Tip Detail Work: The angled Kiritsuke-style tip helps guide shorter cuts around garlic, shallots, herbs and garnish prep, giving this Japanese kitchen knife more detail control than a standard wide vegetable knife.
• Tsuchime Kurouchi Finish: The blade combines tsuchime hammered texture with a kurouchi black forged finish, giving this hand forged knife visible forged character while the textured surface helps reduce contact with sliced foods.
• Deep-Cryo Treatment and Rosewood Handle: After quenching and tempering, the blade receives deep cryogenic treatment with about HRC 60±2 hardness to support a stable cutting edge. The octagonal rosewood handle and sandalwood box complete the knife for controlled use and storage.
