  • Our take on the 8" Kiritsuke Knife – VG-10 Damascus Steel

    This is an 8-inch Kiritsuke with a 10Cr15CoMoV core clad in 66 layers of Damascus steel, a Chinese steel close to VG-10 but tougher against chipping. The flat-profile blade handles push cuts, slicing and fine work, and the carbon fiber and resin hybrid handle keeps the knife light at about 7 ounces. It suits cooks who want a Japanese-style all-purpose blade without paying for a hand-forged Japanese knife. Against a santoku it trades the curved belly for a longer, flatter edge that shines on slicing and chopping; against a gyuto it is less forgiving on rocking cuts.

    Questions and answers

    Is the core really VG-10?
    No. The core is 10Cr15CoMoV, a Chinese steel the maker compares to VG-10. It is generally more chip resistant than VG-10 but holds an edge slightly less long.
    What can I cut with a Kiritsuke?
    Vegetables, boneless proteins, herbs and fruit. The flat profile is built for push cuts and slicing. Skip bones, frozen food and hard squash.
    How should I care for the Damascus blade?
    Hand wash and dry it right away, and store it dry. The cladding resists corrosion but the thin edge and core still benefit from prompt drying.
    Is it heavy or light?
    Light. It weighs about 7 ounces, so it feels quick in hand and is easy to control for long prep sessions.
    Who is it for?
    Cooks who want a long, flat Japanese-style edge for slicing and chopping and prefer a chip-resistant core over a hard, brittle one. It is less ideal if you rock-chop a lot.
