Our Ice Hardened Molybdenum Series knives are forged from a single piece of high-carbon AUS10 stainless steel. The Ice Hardening process enhances the steel’s hardness and resilience, creating a blade that’s both lightweight and razor-sharp.

The Kiritsuke is a multipurpose Japanese chef knife traditionally used by experienced chefs. Its long, flat profile excels at push-cutting vegetables, while the angled tip allows for precision work such as julienning or slicing fish.

Unlike curved blades designed for rocking cuts, the Kiritsuke’s straighter edge encourages clean, deliberate motions, making it ideal for cooks who prefer a more controlled cutting style. The pointed tip adds versatility for detailed prep and intricate presentation.

This knife is paired with a handcrafted ebony handle that adds both beauty and comfort. It is finished with a alternative ivory horn bolster for balance and control. Please note, the color of the horn may vary due to the natural character of the material.

A custom-fit wooden saya (sheath) is included. It protects the blade and adds a refined presentation when not in use.

With its combination of sharpness, durability, and craftsmanship, the Ice Hardened Wa Kiritsuke is a reliable tool for cooks seeking precision and elegance in every cut.
