Yubetsu 8.5" Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
Experience the perfect harmony of beauty and performance with the Yubetsu 8.5" Kiritsuke Knife, a blade designed to make every home chef feel like a culinary professional. From its striking hammered finish to the rich, polished tones of its handle, every detail is crafted to inspire confidence and elevate your cooking ritual.
Exquisite Blade Craftsmanship
The razor-sharp edge is hand-finished to a mirror polish and honed to a precise 8–12° angle, delivering scalpel-like precision for everything from fine vegetable work to carving meats. The subtle hammered texture not only adds visual drama but also reduces food adhesion, allowing ingredients to release effortlessly with each slice.
Mkuruti Wood Handle Elegance
The handle is crafted from richly grained Mkuruti wood, prized for its natural depth of color and distinctive marbling. Its warm, smooth surface offers a secure, comfortable grip, while the faceted profile provides excellent balance and control for precise, confident movements whether slicing fish for sashimi or carving a roast.
Where Tradition Meets Modern Design
Created through a careful blend of time-honored hand-finishing and modern techniques, the Yubetsu embodies the exacting standards of professional cutlery. Its poised weight and perfect balance turn everyday chopping into an art form, making every meal preparation a rewarding experience.
A Centerpiece of Culinary Style
More than just a kitchen tool, the Yubetsu 8.5" Kiritsuke Knife is a statement of craftsmanship and taste. Display it proudly and let it transform your cooking space into a showcase of elegance and professional flair.

A sharp and beautifully crafted knife that makes cooking more enjoyable.
This knife is simply the best—sharp, balanced, and comfortable to use.
I’m pleased with the performance of this knife. It’s sharp, comfortable to use, and seems built to last. The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge. The handle is well-designed and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a reliable knife that’s worth the investment, even if it does need a bit of upkeep.
This knife has a great feel to it. It’s well-balanced and sharp, making meal prep much easier and more enjoyable. The blade is precise and cuts through a variety of ingredients with ease, though I’ve noticed that it does require regular honing to keep its edge. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could be improved with a slightly more textured grip to prevent slipping. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that I’m happy to have in my kitchen.
