About This

• 【Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel】Built with a 3-layer composite blade featuring a 90Cr15MoV high carbon steel core, hardened to 59±2 HRC for exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. The multi-layer forging process removes impurities and strengthens the blade, delivering professional-grade cutting performance for home cooks and chefs alike.
• 【Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle】Crafted from genuine olivewood — one of the world's most prized and visually stunning hardwoods — the ergonomic octagonal handle provides a secure, fatigue-free grip with precise blade angle control. No paint, no chemical smell. The natural grain makes every knife one of a kind, as beautiful as it is functional.
• 【9-Inch Kiritsuke Gyuto Chef Knife】The longer 9-inch blade with a razor-sharp 14–16° hand-polished edge gives you the reach and precision of a professional Japanese gyuto. Ideal for slicing meat, breaking down fish, chopping vegetables, dicing fruits, and scoring bread. At just 2.5mm thin, it glides through ingredients with minimal resistance — perfect for both home kitchens and restaurant use.
• 【Hammered Blade Finish — Form Meets Function】The hand-hammered tsuchime-style surface isn't just beautiful — it creates micro air pockets that reduce drag and prevent food from sticking to the blade while you cut. Each hammer mark is a byproduct of the forging process that refines the steel, removes impurities, and results in a blade that's sharper, harder, and more corrosion-resistant.
• 【Worry-Free Purchase — Gift-Ready Packaging Included】Every Ink Plums kiritsuke knife arrives in a premium gift box, making it a perfect gift for home cooks, professional chefs, birthdays, weddings, and holidays. Backed by our 60-day free replacement guarantee — if you experience any quality issues including rust or handle defects, we make it right, no questions asked.
