Shun Dual Core 8-Inch Kiritsuke Knife

Shun Dual Core 8-Inch Kiritsuke Knife pairs an angular tip with an all-purpose cutting role. It is useful for deliberate vegetable cuts, portioning boneless proteins and detailed work near the front of the blade when you prefer the kiritsuke outline.

At a glance

• Angular tip

  The kiritsuke profile offers a defined tip for precise placement and enough edge for general board preparation.

• 8-inch blade

  This 8-inch format helps define the working reach. Match it to your usual ingredients and leave room for the cutting stroke.

• Two stainless steels

  Alternating VG10 and VG2 steels form a layered pattern that continues to the cutting edge.

• Octagonal Pakkawood

  The ebony-finished handle has an eight-sided profile, giving the fingers distinct faces to register against.

Find your fit

Choose this shape for its profile and the way it meets your board. Keep the tip from digging into the surface and avoid twisting it while the blade is in food. Read our kiritsuke guide for practical comparisons.

Care and storage

Wash by hand with mild detergent, then towel-dry the blade and handle before putting the knife away. Keep the edge protected in a suitable block, tray or guard. See our knife-care guide for a practical routine.
