{"product_id":"moritaka-aogami-super-kiritsukekniv-24-cm","title":"Moritaka Aogami-Super – kiritsuke knife, 24 cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMoritaka kiritsuke 24 cm - the slanted tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kiritsuke is known for its K-tip - the slanted cut toe, which makes the tip work precise and gives the knife its characteristic profile. The blade is otherwise long and relatively flat, so it both presses and pulls the cut cleanly. Moritaka in Kumamoto is one of the world's oldest knife smiths with a history dating back to the 13th century. The knives are still forged by hand, and the dark kurouchi surface is allowed to remain on the blade. This makes each knife easily recognizable – and slightly different from the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose who want one knife for almost everything and like a flat cutting line. The Kiritsuken handles vegetables like a nakiri, meat and fish like a gyuto – but it doesn't rock like a European chef's knife, so the technique is push and pull, not swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePatination is part of the charm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super is not stainless. The blade reacts to acid and moisture, and it develops a patina from day one. Rinse and dry it immediately after use, and the patina will be even and dark, and rust will never take hold. In return, you get a steel that can be sharpened sharper and holds its edge longer than most stainless alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: kiritsuke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip: K-tip (obliquely cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore steel: Aogami Super (blue steel), 63–65 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: san mai – hard core between softer side layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface: hand-forged kurouchi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: octagonal wa-handle in walnut with black ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Kumamoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReactive steel: rinse and dry immediately after use – never dishwasher, never bones or frozen items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moritaka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51688500330833,"sku":"TK-240S","price":422.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/2890\/2981\/files\/rune-jakobsen-design-moritaka-240-mm-kiritsuke-aogami-super-incrementing-number-4503576.png?v=1761712503","url":"https:\/\/rune-jakobsen.com\/en-hr\/products\/moritaka-aogami-super-kiritsuke-knife-24-cm","provider":"Rune-Jakobsen Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
