Steel & Hardness

Blade steel: Damascus Steel

Hardness: 58 to 62 HRC (Rockwell scale)

Hand-forged layered steel folded to reveal a distinctive flowing wave pattern — no two blades are alike. Prized for its hard cutting edge and excellent edge retention. Hand wash, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to protect the etched pattern.
Dimensions & Weight

Overall length: 13.4"

Blade length: 8.25"

Handle length: "

Blade width: "
Care & Maintenance

Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.

Add free engraving with the option above — up to 20 characters on the blade, or engrave the leather sheath. Adds 2 business days. Engraved pieces are final sale. For any other engraving request, email us at info@northboundblade.com.

From the forge

About this piece

A Kiritsuke-style chef's knife — a gyuto with the angled "K-tip" of the traditional Japanese kiritsuke. The flatter edge is built for clean push cuts through vegetables, meat and fish, while the sharp, angled tip handles the fine work: scoring, trimming and precise slicing. The blade is hand-forged Damascus steel with a dark, textured kurouchi finish along the spine, a flowing folded pattern through the middle and a bright wavy line above the polished cutting edge, so no two knives are ever quite alike.

The handle is a traditional octagonal wa-handle in rich red wood with a black horn ferrule: light, balanced and easy to grip from any angle.

The details: Blade length 210mm (8.25"), total length about 340mm (13.4"). Hand-forged Damascus steel (58–62 HRC) with kurouchi finish and polished double-bevel edge. Octagonal wa-handle: red wood with black horn ferrule. Includes a leather sheath. Hand wash, dry immediately, occasional light oiling of blade and handle.

A gift worth giving: The kiritsuke is the knife that stands out on any board: one blade for everyday prep that still feels special every time it comes out. A striking pick for the cook who already owns a chef's knife and wants something with more character.

Every piece leaves the forge ready for a lifetime of use — our Knife Care guide covers the few simple habits that keep a hand-forged edge that way.

FAQ

What is a kiritsuke knife? A kiritsuke is a Japanese chef's knife with a long, flat edge and an angled "K-tip". This one is a kiritsuke-style gyuto: an all-purpose chef's knife with the kiritsuke tip, so it handles the same everyday chopping and slicing as a gyuto.

Kiritsuke vs gyuto: what's the difference? A gyuto has a curved belly for rocking cuts. A kiritsuke has a flatter edge for push cuts and a pointed, angled tip for detail work. Both handle vegetables, meat and fish.

Is it single or double bevel? Double bevel, so it works for right- and left-handed cooks and sharpens like any chef's knife.

Is this dishwasher safe? No — hand wash and dry immediately after use; oil the blade and handle occasionally.

Does it come with a sheath? Yes — every Northbound Blade knife ships with a leather sheath included.

Can I add engraving? Yes — free engraving is available on every knife.

01 — Forged

Shaped at the anvil

Bar stock is heated and hammered to shape by hand — every bevel drawn out at the anvil, never stamped from a sheet.

02 — Tempered

Hardened true

Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.

03 — Finished

Fitted & inspected

Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
