The Kiritsuke Knife - Turquoise Swirl Handle
The Kiritsuke is the ultimate "K-Tip" all purpose blade.
Known as the "head chef's knife", these were traditionally only used by the leader of the kitchen. It is a fantastic knife for multiple cuts, perfect if you want to prepare a meal start-to-finish with the one blade.
PLEASE NOTE - For better or worse every handle is different. The images of handles change from knife to knife - the burl of wood is like the daily weather - hard to predict.

When considering the utility of this knife it is somewhat like an elongated Bunka knife. The blade has a thick spine as the blade approaches the heel (which makes it easy to come down on pumpkin or watermelon) yet as you approach the tip it is thinner allowing for intricate cutting on fruits, onions etc. The blade length means you can even use it as a stand in bread knife.
The kiritsuke has many functions...
