Specifications

The Sukenari Aogami #2 Kiritsuke 270mm is a cross between the yanagiba and the usuba, making the kiritsuke one of the few traditional multi-purpose Japanese-style knives. The Aogami #2 core steel offers an excellent balance of sharpenability and edge retention. The handle, crafted from octagonal magnolia wood, comes with a matching saya. This knife demands great control due to its height, length, and flatness, catering well to experienced chefs seeking a reliable, versatile tool.

❖ Founded in 1933 in Toyama, Japan, Sukenari expertly blends time-honored forging methods with contemporary steel to create exceptional kitchen knives. Celebrated for its mizu-honyaki technique, echoing traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship, Sukenari, now under the guidance of the Hanaki family's third generation, utilizes advanced materials like ZDP-189 and HAP-40. Collaborations with professional chefs drive their continual refinement. With a rich heritage spanning nearly a century, Sukenari stands as a beacon of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, appealing to professional chefs and discerning home cooks alike.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.

What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
