Description
xElevate your kitchen prep with the HOSHANHO 9-Inch Kiritsuke Knife, a purpose-built tool designed for decisive, precise cuts. Built with eight-layer composite steel around a durable 10Cr15CoMoV core, this knife balances hardness, flexibility, and longevity for everyday chef tasks.
Engineering that supports sharp, consistent cuts
Advanced manufacturing methods include vacuum heat treatment and nitrogen cryogenic tempering to optimize performance. The edge is carefully hand-sanded to 12–15 degrees per side, offering strong edge retention while remaining manageable for routine slicing, dicing, and mincing across fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish.
- Multi-layer construction for balance and resilience
- High-carbon core enhances edge longevity
- Sharp angle supports precise, clean cuts
Ergonomic, durable design for everyday kitchen use
The blade pairs with a natural rosewood octagonal handle that stays stable in wet conditions. The handle is designed for ambidextrous comfort, promoting a secure grip and reducing fatigue during extended prep work, even when hands are damp.
- Ambidextrous, comfortable grip
- Water-resistant rosewood that resists cracking over time
Style meets function in a distinctive blade
With a 9-inch blade that is 2.5 mm thick, the hand-hammered texture adds beauty and helps reduce sticking during prep. Subtle copper wire accents on the handle introduce a fashionable touch without compromising grip or care.
Designed for versatile tasks—from delicate herbs to larger cuts—the knife invites confident, controlled moves in the kitchen. It presents a practical possibility for smoother workflows, without promising guaranteed results.
Care and maintenance
