Seki Kyuba SHIN Chef’s Kiritsuke 24cm

The Kiritsuke The Kiritsuke is a hybrid: the everyday range of a Gyuto combined with the flat profile and angled tip of a traditional single-bevel Kiritsuke. This is the 24cm version, built for extra reach and cutting surface. The longer flat edge push-cuts through larger ingredients in fewer strokes, while the angled tip keeps the precision for detailed work. Choose it over the 21cm when you want more blade for bigger cuts. SHIN blades are forged in Seki, Gifu from SG2/R2 (Super Gold 2) powdered high-carbon stainless steel over 31 Damascus layers — a tough, low-maintenance steel that takes a very fine edge. At 63–64 HRC it stays sharp through long stretches of use, and the hammered finish over the Damascus helps release food as you cut. If you prefer a more curved edge for rocking cuts, consider the Gyuto instead.
