Kamoshiro Aogami Super Polished Kiritsuke 210mm

The Kamoshiro Aogami Super Polished Kiritsuke 210mm is a premium handcrafted Japanese chef’s knife that embodies the perfect balance of traditional craftsmanship, refined aesthetics and exceptional cutting performance. Hand forged in Echizen, Japan, by renowned master blacksmith Kamo Shiro (加茂 詞朗), each knife is meticulously crafted using time-honoured techniques to deliver outstanding precision, balance and durability for professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

The Kiritsuke is a distinctive Japanese knife, recognised by its elegant angled “K-tip” profile. Combining the versatility of a Gyuto with the precision of a Yanagiba, the 210mm Kiritsuke excels at slicing, push cutting and fine detail work. It is ideal for preparing vegetables, fish and boneless meat, while its pointed tip provides exceptional accuracy for intricate cutting tasks. The long, ultra-thin blade glides effortlessly through ingredients with minimal resistance, producing remarkably clean and precise cuts.

At the heart of the blade is Aogami Super carbon steel, one of Japan’s most highly regarded high-carbon steels, prized for its exceptional edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening. The core is clad with stainless steel, offering improved corrosion resistance while preserving the outstanding cutting characteristics of carbon steel. Hardened to approximately 64 ±1 HRC, the blade maintains a razor-sharp edge through extended use.

Finished with an elegant Polished blade finish, the knife showcases the purity of the steel and the precision of its grind, creating a sleek, sophisticated appearance that reflects the understated luxury of premium Japanese cutlery. Its slim spine, measuring approximately 1.5mm, provides an exceptionally light and agile feel, allowing effortless control during every cut.

The blade is paired with a traditional Japanese wa-style ebony handle, accented by a refined white micarta ring that adds a subtle touch of contrast while enhancing comfort and balance. Each handle displays unique natural variations in grain and tone, making every knife one of a kind.

Blending premium materials with master craftsmanship and timeless design, the Kamoshiro Aogami Super Polished Kiritsuke 210mm is an exceptional choice for chefs seeking outstanding versatility, precision and refined Japanese elegance.
