Review: Good quality - looks great - Nice quality knife. I find this to be a bit blade heavy, and at first it felt strange in my hand, but perhaps that’s because I’m coming from three different shun Kiritsuke knives. This is a very nice blade and it seems to hold an edge. It is very smooth, so for vegetables they tend to trap. But it makes great precision cuts. Review: It's powerful - It's wonderful. Super comfortable, sharp and professional ## Features - JAPANESE DAMASCUS CHEF KNIFE: Kiritsuke Knife is made of 7 layers 440C Damascus steel using traditional Japanese hand forging technology and vacuum deep cooling treatment for enhanced sharpness and durability - DAZZLING KITCHEN KNIFE HANDLES: The Dazzling series of knife handles were designed in collaboration with a Japanese manga artist.

For a knife not made in Japan, the price is excessive, just like Dalstrong is over priced Chinese manufacturing. The manufacturer also states this is 67 layers of Damascus on some places and 7 layers in some places. This type of sketchy usually means one thing: CHINA. **Q: Is this a single bevel knife?** A: Dear Customer. This is a double-edged Japanese Damascus knife. Not a single beveled blade. **Q: Tienes el afilador para comprar junto?** A: Estimado. Nuestra tienda tiene piedras de afilar japonesas profesionales disponibles para la compra. Usted puede ir a nuestra tienda para navegar. **Q: Do this knife comes with a cover o a guard for the blade?** A: Dear. We don't have a sheath or sheath for this knife for now. We have a professional wooden knife holder available for purchase and use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality - looks great *by R***A on December 16, 2025* Nice quality knife. I find this to be a bit blade heavy, and at first it felt strange in my hand, but perhaps that’s because I’m coming from three different shun Kiritsuke knives. This is a very nice blade and it seems to hold an edge. It is very smooth, so for vegetables they tend to trap. But it makes great precision cuts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's powerful *by E***I on February 18, 2026* It's wonderful. Super comfortable, sharp and professional ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife for the price *by J***Y on April 25, 2025* Great knife. Sharp straight out of the box. I may be a Japanese knife convert. I've used German knives, exclusively, in my career as a chef (been a Henckles fan for 20 years) but recently wanted to get a few Japanese knives and compare them. I am not disappointed in this knife at all. Not super expensive, looks good, handles well, lightweight, handle feels good in my hand, holds an edge well. I made every one of my cooks try it out on day one and I'm pretty sure a couple of them will be buying one for themselves. ## Frequently Bought Together - MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8 inch Japanese Kiritsuke Chef Knife, Hand Forged 67 Layers 440C Damascus Steel Kitchen Knives, Professional Meat Sushi Chef's Knife (Red Pomegranate Handle & Sandalwood Box) - MITSUMOTO SAKARI Japanese Knife Sharpening Stone, Professional Kitchen 1000/3000 Grit Knife Sharpener Stone, Non-Slip Wooden Seat whetstone knife sharpener --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/341136659-mitsumoto-sakari-8-inch-japanese-kiritsuke-knife-hand-forged-440c](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/341136659-mitsumoto-sakari-8-inch-japanese-kiritsuke-knife-hand-forged-440c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
