The **Kanso Aogami-kiritsuke** with a 13.5 cm blade is a stunning, handmade, traditional Japanese kitchen knife. The kiritsuke was designed as a versatile knife to prepare Asian dishes. They did so by combining the blade of a nakiri (vegetable knife) and sujihiki (fish knife). This combination ensures that with only one knife you can cut a lot of different ingredients. With a blade length of 13.5 cm this kiritsuke is perfect for the smaller tasks in the kitchen. For larger tasks you use the [kiritsuke with an 18 cm blade](kato://product.EQ2040-418). 

## Kiritsuke from the Kanso Aogami collection

Originally, the kiritsuke is a one-sided grind knife that emerged from a combination of the usuba (vegetable knife) and yanagiba (fish knife). Because these knives each had a different function, and because the blade was enhanced with a one-sided grind, this knife is anything but easy to use. That is why, in many traditional restaurants, this knife is only used by the head chef. It symbolizes expertise and status.

The kiritsuke from the Eden Kanso Aogami collection is different. To make the knife a little more user-friendly, it is enhanced with a double-sided grind. As such it has become a combination between a nakiri (a usuba with a double-sided grind) and a sujihiki (yanagiba with a double-sided grind).

The flat heel of the blade has the same shape as the nakiri. The chef's knife is great when chopping and cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The blade, however, is narrower and a little longer than the traditional nakiri. The blade also transitions into a reversed tanto tip. These are characteristics of the sujihiki: a Japanese kitchen knife to cut raw fish. As such the kiritsuke is, in addition to vegetables, also great when cutting fish. The tip is perfect for small, precise cutting tasks.

## Blue Paper Steel quality

The blade of the kiritsuke and the other knives from the Kanso Aogami collection is made from aogami steel. Aogami is Japanese for blue paper. The type of steel is therefore also called Blue Paper Steel. It owes its name to the packaging in which the manufacturer delivers the steel. Blue Paper Steel is very hard (62-63 HRC), as such the knife can be sharpened razor-sharp. Aogami can handle corrosion and chipping better than White Paper Steel, but is is not corrosion resistant. It is therefore a knife for the real expert: it requires a lot of attention and maintenance. You can read more about how to maintain a Kanso Aogami knife [here](/en/ct/eden-kanso-aogami-information.htm). 

The handle of the Kanso Aogami knives is made from red sandal wood. This is a stunning type of wood that makes the knives look very luxurious. Because this is a natural product, the handle of each knife will be different. The handle of your new kiritsuke can therefore also be different from the one in the photograph. The asymmetrical D-handle is a traditional Japanese type of handle. It feels great in hand. Originally these knives are therefore also either left or right-handed. We, however, experienced that the same D-handle feels comfortable in hand regardless of whether you are left or right-handed.

Super scherp mes. Fijn lemmet lengte voor mensen die niet van grote messen houden, fijn om mee te werken.
Het lemmet ziet er niet zo mooi uit, donker een vaak wat bruine vlekken. Dit neem je graag op de koop toe door de scherpte en snijkwaliteit van dit mes. Een echte aanrader.

Item arrived well packed and in time. Very pleased with the quality of the product.

super, sehr dünne Schneide, super Schneid- Eigenschften !

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
