Tsunehisa Damascus Kiritsuke VG10 210mm

Description

I am a big fan of Kiritsukes when they're done well. The angled tip helps with precision cuts and it also gives the knife a more refined look. I love the cladding lines of this knife and how squiggly they look at some parts. I met Shibata-san on my 3rd visit to Japan. His video on the Tinker Tank is the first video I watched about Japanese knives from a Japanese craftsman. He's one of the reasons I started down the Japanese Chef Knife rabbit hole. Meeting him and his team was such a pleasant experience all around and it was worth the extra effort to get to his shop.
