Sukenari Migaki Kirtsuke 270mm

Sukenari is a small third generation smith based out of Toyama which is the capital city of Toyama prefecture, Japan, located on the coast of the Sea of Japan in the Chūbu region on central Honshu. In our eyes Sukenari is a heavy hitter in the super steel category of knife making. Not shying away from difficult super steels to work with like HAP40 and ZDP-189, the trade off for the care put into their heat treating of these steels, the thin grinds and high level of fit and finish makes for an uncompromising performance. 

It is to be advised that with such a high heat treat and thinness behind the edge that these knives do not handle abuse well and will be more prone to chipping and other damage if misused, however with proper technique you would be hard pressed to find a knife with better edge retention than this.

The Kiritsuke or K-tip Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent to the western chef's knife. It is an all purpose knife that you can do every task in the kitchen with, from slicing, dicing, chopping, rocking, you name it, this knife can do it.
