Product Overview
The Shun Premier Kiritsuke Knife is a masterful, multi-purpose tool revered by Japanese chefs for its exceptional versatility and cutting performance. Often called the master chef’s knife, this kiritsuke knife excels in a wide range of tasks, from julienning, dicing, and brunoising vegetables to slicing and portioning boneless proteins, especially fish.
