Anano 8.5" 3-Layer AUS10 Steel Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
The Anano 8.5" Kiritsuke Knife is a statement of modern craftsmanship, designed to inspire confidence and deliver professional-level performance in every kitchen.
3-Layer AUS10 Core Strength
At its heart lies a resilient AUS10 steel core clad in three layers of stainless steel for exceptional durability and edge retention. This construction balances razor-sharp precision with the toughness needed for everyday culinary demands, ensuring a blade that stays keen through countless preparations.
Striking Hammered Finish
The blade’s hand-hammered surface is more than beautiful; the subtle texture reduces drag and helps ingredients release cleanly as you cut. The dark, organic patterning creates a unique visual character, giving every knife its own signature look.
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.
Effortless Precision, Chef-Level Control
Honed to a fine edge, the Anano glides through vegetables, meats, and delicate herbs with minimal effort. Perfect weight distribution and an ergonomic design make it feel like an extension of your hand, turning everyday cooking into a masterful experience.
A Centerpiece of Culinary Art
The Anano 8.5" 3-Layer AUS10 Steel Kiritsuke Knife is more than a tool—it is a refined statement piece that elevates both the look of your kitchen and the artistry of your cooking.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.

Sold OutReally nice knife overall. The blade is super sharp and the finish is beautiful. My only thing is the handle shape took a day or two to get used to, its a bit more oval than I'm used to. But now its fine and I use it all the time. Definitely a good buy.
It's a good knife, don't get me wrong. The steel seems fine. But the fit and finish isn't quite as refined as I hoped. There's a slight gap where the handle meets the tang. It doesn't affect performance, just aesthetics. Does what it's supposed to.
Ok so I was a little nervous buying a knife online but this thing is legit. The hammered finish looks way more expensive than it was. I've been using it for everything, veggies, meat, you name it. The edge is still crazy sharp after a month of daily use. Came in a nice box too.
I have mixed feelings. The knife is sharp and looks nice. But it's a bit too light for my taste, I prefer something with more heft. It works well for vegetables but I don't love it for meat. It's fine, just not my favorite.
Got this for my husband who loves to cook. He was so surprised, said the balance is perfect and it's super sharp right out of the box. He's been showing it off to everyone. Came in a nice box too which made it feel like a real gift.
Positive first impressions. It's a little heavier than I expected for a kiritsuke, but honestly I think I prefer the heft now for chopping. The edge is fantastic, glides through tomatoes like nothing. Wish they made a 10 inch version, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I was a little nervous buying a knife online but this one is legit. The edge is crazy sharp, I barely have to push to cut anything. The handle feels solid and secure in my hand. Definitely a pro level knife for a way better price.
