One blade for the fish counter and the chopping board. This Kiritsuke Japanese-Style Knife merges the precision of a fish slicer with the control of a vegetable knife, so you reach for it more than almost anything else in the block.
Kurocho built this Kiritsuke around a 67-layer Damascus steel construction with a VG10 stainless steel core, hardened to 60±1 HRC and hand-finished using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke method — sharpened and polished by hand across three separate stages. The result is a lightweight, double-bevelled edge that rocks and chops with equal ease, letting one knife do the work of several.
Each blade carries a Fireball Damascus pattern, a natural by-product of the folding process, so no two knives look quite the same. The handle continues that individuality: a coloured, octagonal grip finished by hand, with its exact shade varying from knife to knife.
This is a knife built for cooks who want fewer tools doing more — precise, durable, and finished to last.

Questions
Not sure which knife? Send us a message and we'll help you choose.
Hand wash only and dry immediately. Damascus steel is corrosion-resistant but not stain-proof, so avoid the dishwasher and leaving it wet.
Hone regularly and resharpen on a whetstone as needed. A gentle honing routine will keep the double-bevel edge performing for years.
It's designed as an all-rounder — comfortable slicing fish, precise on vegetables, and capable of most jobs you'd normally give a chef's knife.
The coloured octagonal handle is unique to each knife, so the exact tone and grain will vary slightly from the one shown.
