Japanese style hybrid blades

This catalog features the Kiritsuke, a traditional Japanese design that combines the functions of a vegetable knife and a slicer. The straight edge is ideal for push-cutting, while the clipped sword-like tip allows for detail work. It is a versatile tool for those who prefer a flatter profile over the curved belly of a Western chef knife.

These listings range from 7 in to 9 in. Most use high-carbon steel or Damascus layers to maintain a sharp edge over time. The design is often chosen by those who want one blade that can handle both delicate fish slicing and vegetable dicing.

Materials and construction

These listings highlight various steel types and handle designs. You can find the following specifications in this set:

Choosing the right length

An 8 in or 8.5 in blade is the standard for most home cooks. It provides enough length for slicing large proteins while remaining manageable on a standard cutting board. If you have limited counter space, look for the 7 in options from brands like kanngou.

For professional-level slicing, the 9 in models offer a longer draw which is helpful for clean cuts through raw fish. Check the brand pages for HOSHANHO or MITSUMOTO SAKARI to see specific handle materials like sapphire resin or traditional wood. These listings provide a variety of aesthetic choices for different kitchen styles.
