Shun Classic Blonde 8-inch Kiritsuke

Shun calls the kiritsuke a multipurpose knife treasured by Japanese master chefs. Its long, flat edge excels at push cuts for julienne, dice and brunoise, and its angled tip cleans and portions boneless proteins, especially fish.

A slight curve near the tip also allows gentle rocking cuts, so the knife can stand in for a chef’s knife for many cooks. Its D-shaped blonde Pakkawood handle works equally well in the left or right hand and will not harbor bacteria. The distinctive angled profile makes it a memorable gift for an enthusiast who already owns a chef’s knife, and it pairs well with a parer for a two-knife kit.
