Utility Kiritsuke

A smaller kiritsuke-style knife that combines precision with everyday versatility.

The utility kiritsuke takes the angled tip and flat profile of a full-size kiritsuke and scales it down. It sits between a petty and a gyuto in size, making it ideal for quick prep, small boards and detailed work such as trimming and fine slicing. It is also a natural second knife to pair with a gyuto.

Choose from Blue Steel #1 and #2 with kurouchi black-forged finishes, Damascus SG2, and ZDP-189 with an ebony handle and sterling silver ring.
