Shun Blue 8” Kiritsuke / Chef's Knife - VG0014

Enjoy incredible versatility and cutting performance with the elegantly designed and handcrafted Shun VG0014 Blue 8” Kiritsuke.

Durable Blade

This stunning 8-inch knife features a high carbon steel blade that many professional chefs swear by. The extremely hard, fine-grained blade can be sharpened to a razor thin edge. It can also maintain that sharp edge for a long time, making it perfect for professionals who need a blade that will last them until the end of a long day of constant use.

Comfortable Grip

The Shun Blue kiritsuke has a traditional Japanese octagonal handle made from grey pakka wood that will provide you with a comfortable and secure grip all day long. It features a rabbet tang that controls the weight of the blade, and makes it easier to hold and maneuver.

Design and Use

The kiritsuke is known as the master chef’s knife in Japan. Like the chef’s knife, the kiritsuke is extremely versatile making it the perfect tool for preparing meat, fish, and vegetables in any number of ways. Since it has a straighter edge, it’s designed to slice or be pushed through the food, rather than rocked.

This Shun knife comes equipped with a traditional Japanese sheath to help protect the blade when not in use.
