    FAQs

    How does the Kiritsuke blade shape improve performance compared to a standard chef knife?

    The Kiritsuke profile features a straighter edge and a fine, pointed tip, giving you more precision for slicing, push-cutting, and detailed work. It’s ideal for cooks who want a versatile knife that can handle both delicate cuts and long, smooth slices—something a traditional curved chef knife isn’t always optimized for.

    Is the resin and wood burl handle durable enough for daily cooking?

    Yes. The handle is crafted from stabilized resin blended with wood burl, making it far more resistant to moisture and temperature changes than standard wooden handles. This construction prevents warping and cracking, while the octagonal shape offers a comfortable, secure grip during extended prep sessions.

    What tasks is this 20.5 cm Kiritsuke most suitable for?

    This Kiritsuke is ideal for slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, trimming herbs, and performing precise cuts like julienne and chiffonade. Its 20.5 cm blade length offers ample reach without feeling bulky, making it a go-to knife for both home cooks and professionals.

    How do I maintain the Damascus pattern and VG-10 edge over time?

    Handwash and thoroughly dry the knife after each use to protect the layered Damascus finish. Regular honing keeps the edge aligned, and occasional whetstone sharpening restores peak sharpness. For added care, applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil helps maintain the visual contrast of the Damascus layers.

    What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?

    Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.

    We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.

    Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

    We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

    Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

    We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

    How should I sharpen this knife?

    You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

    What’s the best way to store this knife?

    Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
