Designed for precision and versatility, the Ishizuchi Blue Steel No.2 Kiritsuke Knife embodies a bold yet refined approach to everyday cooking. Forged from Blue Steel No.2, the blade holds a razor-sharp edge that excels in both slicing and push-cutting, making it well-suited for vegetables, fish, and proteins alike. The signature angled tip—characteristic of the kiritsuke profile—adds visual sharpness and practical agility for detail work and clean, linear cuts.

This version features a walnut wood handle, adding a sense of visual richness and weight in hand. The darker grain and density of the walnut lend a grounded feel, while the natural texture offers a comfortable grip during long sessions of prep. A buffalo horn ferrule completes the handle, providing both structural strength and an elegant transition between materials.

The blade surface bears the signature hand-forged texture of Ishizuchi knives, with each pattern reflecting the rhythm of hammer strikes and the individuality of the maker’s craft.

A favorite among those who appreciate clean lines and decisive control, the Ishizuchi Blue Steel No.2 Kiritsuke Knife with walnut handle brings a quiet confidence to every task—balancing tradition with bold execution in a form that feels as considered as the food it helps prepare.
