Description

The 8.5” Gladiator Series double-bevel Kiritsuke is a push cut and slicing specialist. Designed with a sword-like front end, this visually stunning blade is a high-performance instrument of exceptional effectiveness. The flat geometry of the blade’s edge facilitates push-cuts over rocking cuts, making it an ideal choice for those chefs who prepare large numbers of vegetables. The Kiritsuke blends the Japanese Yanagiba (fish slicer) with a Usuba (vegetable knife) making it a versatile alternative to a chef’s knife. This is one knife worth having in your knife roll.

Featuring a beautiful, ergonomic, and ambidextrous imported black G10 Garolite handle imported from Spain (laminated for extra strength, sanitation, and water stain resistance) the Gladiator Series kiritsuke knife is carefully designed for maximum control and effectiveness. This knife is as pleasing to hold as it is to look at, featuring a perfectly engineered balance with satisfying heft and presence. The hand-polished bolster adds counterweight and offers finger protection, while the triple rivets (with signature Dalstrong center rivet) in the handle ensure the highest level of strength and robustness.
