Description

The 20cm Yaxell Zen Kiritsuke Knife is a slicing knife featuring a long blade and angled tip, making it versatile. It can be used for slicing fish, cutting meat, and chopping vegetables, making it a sort of all-purpose knife in Japanese cuisine. Its straighter edge is ideal for precise, push-cut motions rather than the rocking cut typical with Western chef’s knives.
