These sword shaped knives feature a straighter edge than a yanagi for vegetables, and a longer blade than an usuba for slicing fish with ease. The user must be highly skilled with traditional Japanese knives in order to utilize this unique kiritsuke style design and single edged blade properly. Traditionally, these knives are used only by the executive chefs as a symbol of status and due to its difficulty in use.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"okuma-195-kiritsuke-santoku-knife-195mm","title":"Okuma 195 - Kiritsuke Santoku Knife 195mm","description":"\u003ch4\u003eMade in Japan | 🇯🇵\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAUS10 is High Carbon, high Quality Japanese Stainless Steel Which provide very good edge sharpness, edge retention and rust resistance.
