Asheville Crafted Edge - Kiritsuke ProCut - Black Burlap Micarta

ProCut Kiritsuke with Micarta Handles

The Asheville Crafted Edge Kiritsuke ProCut is a high-performance kitchen knife that marries elegance and versatility. This 8-inch blade features the iconic Kiritsuke profile, combining the slicing ability of a chef's knife with the precision of a fine-point utility blade. Handcrafted in the USA, this knife offers excellent balance and control for both detailed prep work and larger slicing tasks.

Blade

The 8" ProCut steel blade has a thickness of .108". The Kiritsuke profile is known for its hybrid shape that blends yanagiba length with usuba height, featuring an angled "sword tip" where the spine meets the edge. This design provides excellent slicing ability and moderate piercing capability. Traditionally single-bevel but increasingly available in double-bevel versions, it combines functions of both fish slicing and vegetable preparation.

Handle

The knife is equipped with a comfortable black burlap Micarta handle that measures 4.75" in length. This material not only provides a timeless appearance but also ensures a secure grip for enhanced control during use.
