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.

Sold OutSo I've been using this knife for about a month now, just about every day. I cant believe how sharp it is out of the box, it glides through onions and peppers like they're not even there. The handle feels really solid in my hand and the hammered finish looks way more expensive than what I paid. My old Henckels feels like a butter knife now. Came in a nice box too, which was a nice touch.
So I've been using this for about a month now and its my go-to knife for everything. The edge is still crazy sharp, I havent even had to sharpen it yet. Makes prepping dinner so much faster.
This is a really nice knife for the price. The edge is super sharp and it's a joy to use on vegetables. My only thing is the handle shape, it's a little round for my taste and took a day or two to get used to. But the performance is fantastic, definitely a keeper.
Got this as a gift for my husband who loves to cook. He absolutely loves it. He says the balance is perfect and it feels really solid in his hand. The hammered finish looks even better in person.
I like this knife a lot. The blade is super sharp and it's a looker. It's a tad heavier than I expected but I actually prefer it now for tougher jobs like cutting through squash. Still gives me great control for finer work.
Great knife. Makes quick work of dicing and slicing. The tip is perfect for detailed work. It's a little heavier than I expected, but honestly I think I prefer the heft now, it does a lot of the work for you. Arrived super fast and was packaged well.
The quality is top-notch, highly recommended
I’m very pleased with this knife. It’s sharp and well-balanced, making it a reliable tool in my kitchen. The blade is great for everything from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it could be a bit more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that’s become a staple in my kitchen.
