These kind of top cooperations go back to 1925 when the company Kawamura Hamono started. The Wasiki Series are made with AUS-8 stainless steel and they feature an octagonal Wa-handle made of Rosewood. The Kiritsuke knife profile is an amazing combination of two profiles as it can perform both the tasks of a slicer (like Sujihiki) and all-rounder (like Gyuto). The most part of the belly is flat to be used with push cuts and with a slightly curved, “K tip” nose it is perfect for small slicing and precise cuts. Recommended mainly for push cut, slice and chopping.
