Kiritsuke knives have one of the few multipurpose traditional Japanese blades, and can be used as a yanagi (fish slicer) or an usuba (vegetable knife).

Exceptional Japanese Cutting SG2 steel boasts a high carbon content along with alloys like molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium. These elements provide remarkable hardness, wear resistance, and the ability to maintain a sharp edge for an extended period. The technology used in producing SG2 enables the creation of metal with an exceptionally homogeneous structure, resulting in a smooth feel and excellent balance. Knives crafted from SG2 steel are easy to maintain and sharpen, ensuring an outstanding user experience for years to come.

Master of Blades recommends avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
