This knife is double beveled and is therefore suitable for both right and left handed users but traditionally the Kiritsuke is single beveled and only the head chef is permitted to use one in traditional sushi restaurants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKiritsukes function much like a gyuto or chef's knife and can be used for basically any task. They are a great option for those who prefer to use an up and down, forward and backward chopping motion rather than a rocking motion due to the lack of curvature to the blade. This coupled with the K-tip (aka reverse tanto tip) make it a fantastic slicing knife as well, although the k-tip is much more delicate than a traditional curved tip. Typically, kiritsukes carry a flatter profile and are more suited to push\/pull cutting style, as opposed to the rocking motion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding).
