The kiritsuke knife is a versatile model, useful for meat, fish, fruit, vegetables... The shape of its blade recalls the Japanese swords once used by the samurai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn ultra-sharp blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is called \u003cstrong\u003eSan Maï\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it's made up of 3 alternating layers of steel. At the center sits the Ginsan steel core (\u003cstrong\u003e0.95% carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e); this Japanese alloy makes the wire harder and stiffer for a long-lasting cutting edge. This core is then covered with a layer of stainless steel that brings extra protection and suppleness. The small wave at the bottom of the blade marks this change in steel. The hardness reached is \u003cstrong\u003e60 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the blade is easy to sharpen while holding its edge well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA pleasant wooden handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnju wood forms the \u003cstrong\u003ehandle\u003c\/strong\u003e here, a sturdy, light species of Asian origin. The handle has a lovely light shade with a glossy effect. Note that the wood grain is unique to every piece! The handle is octagonal in shape with a pleasant grip. It suits both right- and left-handed cooks. Finally, a binder has been injected between the handle and the blade to fill the gap and make the whole thing watertight and hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA handcrafted, authentic knife\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife has a very understated design, with a simple blade that's no less effective for it. The brand's logo on the front and discreet kanji on the back of the blade have been finely engraved for added authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWash your knife by hand, taking care not to run too much water over the handle, then use a soft cloth to dry it before storing it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/KIRITSUKE_2021CM_4bded20a-bcbc-4106-a022-29da90ade387.png\" alt=\"Couteau kiritsuke japonais 21cm Migaki G3\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuited to every cook\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Couteaux du Chef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978960470358,"sku":"HLWWUS-SHI-8508","price":239.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/67925.jpg?v=1788871417","url":"https:\/\/www.wusaki.com\/en\/products\/migaki-g3-handcrafted-japanese-kiritsuke-knife-21cm-p187","provider":"Wusaki","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
