Know before you buy
The Kiritsuke is a versatile hybrid blade that combines the slicing precision of a sujihiki with the rocking capabilities of a traditional chef's knife. Its pointed tip is particularly useful for delicate tasks like brunoising vegetables or trimming proteins.
AUS-10 is a high-carbon Japanese 'super steel' that allows for a much thinner, sharper edge than standard stainless steel. It offers superior edge retention, meaning you will need to hone and sharpen the blade less frequently.
Yes, G-10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is virtually impervious to moisture, heat, and impact. It provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet, making it an excellent choice for professional-grade durability.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-heat environment and harsh detergents can damage the Damascus cladding and degrade the handle material; we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
Because this knife features a very acute edge angle, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality manual sharpening system designed for Japanese knives. Avoid using pull-through electric sharpeners, as they can remove too much material and ruin the refined edge geometry.
Regalia offers a lifetime guarantee that includes free sharpening services for the life of the knife. This ensures you can maintain the factory-level sharpness without needing to master professional sharpening techniques yourself.
