{"title":"Kiritsuke Knives","description":"\u003cspan class=\"new-h1\"\u003eKiritsuke - Multipurpose Knife\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"new-h2\"\u003eThe advanced all-rounder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiritsuke is the knife that serious cooks tend to want even before they're quite ready for it. An ultra cool toy that has a reputation as an advanced knife, and that reputation is earned. But understanding what it actually does, and why, makes the decision straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiritsuke is a long, flat-profiled blade with a distinctive angled tip - the spine drops sharply to meet the edge at an acute point, creating what is sometimes called a K-Tip or clip-point profile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in two forms. The traditional single-bevel Kiritsuke is a professional tool used in Japanese restaurant kitchens, combining the flat edge of an Usuba for vegetable work with the length and tip of a Yanagiba for slicing fish. The straight edge is perfect for advanced  katsuramuki work – including creating thin sheets of vegetables.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-bevel version - sometimes called a Kiritsuke Gyuto depending on the shape - is more widely available and more accessible, functioning as a longer, flatter multipurpose blade with a pointed tip suited to a wide range of cutting styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits experienced cooks who are comfortable with Japanese knife technique and want a single blade that covers both precise vegetable work and slicing tasks. The flat profile rewards a push-cut or draw-cut motion rather than the rocking motion common with Western chef's knives. That requires some adjustment if you're coming from a Gyuto, but the payoff is a blade that handles a broader range of tasks at a high level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe careful of the tip, the most delicate part of the knife, as the point is low and it could get caught in the chopping board and become chipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to a Gyuto, the Kiritsuke is flatter, longer, and more demanding in technique - it rewards deliberate cutting style rather than rocking. Compared to a Bunka, it is longer and more suited to slicing tasks. It is not a beginner's knife, but it is not inaccessible either - cooks who have developed some Japanese knife technique will adapt quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing, 210mm to 240mm covers most tasks. The double-bevel version is the practical starting point for most. Carbon steel options are also available for the enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiritsuke is the knife for cooks who want a tool that does more.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kagekiyo-shiro-240-kiritsuke","title":"Kagekiyo Shiro 240 Kiritsuke","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKagekiyo White Carbon Steel 240 Kiritsuke + Saya\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally the Kiritsuke is a kataba blade, glacier cool but difficult to master.
