Review: Razor sharp knife - This is a very good and razor sharp knife for very little money.
Review: Great value for the price point - The knife looks beautiful and feels nice- if a little front heavy. No full tang which puts the balance point right about where the logo on the knife is. Fine for me since I use a pinch grip but, if you aren't used to it, the balance could make for an uncomfortable experience. I already had an 8in kiritsuke knife which has better balance but, this 9in one is really nice by comparison because the slightly longer blade lets you make some nice long and even cuts on meats, fish, or… other long foods… eggplants. It had a nice edge out of the box - nice but not perfect. Tomato test passed. Paper test passed. It will do the job well but if you’re a stickler, go ahead and touch up the cutting edge before trying to shave a kiwi (the fruit not the bird). I am a home chef and I have no idea what a professional chef’s knife is supposed to feel like but this one feels good to me. The octagonal grip is octually super comfortable and gives a nice grip texture. Because of the blade shape, the Japanese kiritsuke-style knife makes flat cuts way easier (like julienne for example) without sacrificing any of the functionality that you may be used to from a western chef knife (or gyuto). Also, I’d say it’s pretty durable. I was concerned that some of the reviews said that it wouldn’t hold up so… I tortured it a little bit. I didn’t go full “Mythbusters” on it or anything but I'm pretty confident that you would have to put in real effort to break this knife- even without a full tang. I mean I really beat the devil out of this thing on my cutting board to see what kind of a battering it would endure and, to my delight, it went right along like nothing happened. I really don’t know what some of these reviewers are doing to their kitchen knives to give it a low rating based on durability, but I really let this thing have it - far more punishment than it would ever reasonably receive in a cooking environment. There’s nothing you can do to this knife in your kitchen that’s going to break it… I mean, unless a ninja shows up at your house… Best of luck if that happens. Don’t sword fight with this knife. You’ll probably lose. TL;DR - I like the Ink Plum kiritsuke knife, and I recommend it. It’s tough, beautiful, and inexpensive. It’s everything you could ask for at this price point.

## Features

- 【Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel】Built with a 3-layer composite blade featuring a 90Cr15MoV high carbon steel core, hardened to 59±2 HRC for exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. The multi-layer forging process removes impurities and strengthens the blade, delivering professional-grade cutting performance for home cooks and chefs alike.
- 【Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle】Crafted from genuine olivewood — one of the world's most prized and visually stunning hardwoods — the ergonomic octagonal handle provides a secure, fatigue-free grip with precise blade angle control. No paint, no chemical smell. The natural grain makes every knife one of a kind, as beautiful as it is functional.
- 【9-Inch Kiritsuke Gyuto Chef Knife】The longer 9-inch blade with a razor-sharp 14–16° hand-polished edge gives you the reach and precision of a professional Japanese gyuto. Ideal for slicing meat, breaking down fish, chopping vegetables, dicing fruits, and scoring bread. At just 2.5mm thin, it glides through ingredients with minimal resistance — perfect for both home kitchens and restaurant use.
- 【Hammered Blade Finish — Form Meets Function】The hand-hammered tsuchime-style surface isn't just beautiful — it creates micro air pockets that reduce drag and prevent food from sticking to the blade while you cut. Each hammer mark is a byproduct of the forging process that refines the steel, removes impurities, and results in a blade that's sharper, harder, and more corrosion-resistant.
- 【Worry-Free Purchase — Gift-Ready Packaging Included】Every Ink Plums kiritsuke knife arrives in a premium gift box, making it a perfect gift for home cooks, professional chefs, birthdays, weddings, and holidays. Backed by our 60-day free replacement guarantee — if you experience any quality issues including rust or handle defects, we make it right, no questions asked.
