Yoshihiro Honyaki White Steel Double Mirror Polished Mt.Fuji with Full Moon Kiritsuke Multipurpose Chef Knife (11.8'' (300mm), Triple Silver Ring Ebony Handle and Ebony Saya)
- Beautifully mirror-finished, our handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are handcrafted with extraordinary skill. A work of art, the temper line (hamon) features the Fuji mountain with a Full Moon.

- The Kiritsuke is one of the most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have. The blade of the Kiritsuke is wider and straighter than a standard chef knife while having a curved tip. The wideness of the knife with its straight end makes it suited for chopping vegetables while the long curved tip makes it suitable for cutting thin slices in meat or fish..
