AEB-L Kiritsuke Japanese Chef Knife Blank - AC03
Traditionally reserved for head chefs, the kiritsuke pairs a dramatic angled tip with a long straight edge. It rewards a confident push-cut technique and looks the part on any board. The blade measures 215 mm, 290 mm overall.
Uddeholm AEB-L started life as razor blade steel, and it shows. Exceptionally fine grain lets it take a screaming edge at thin geometry, while still resisting rust like a proper stainless.
Our process is deliberately simple: certified Voestalpine steel, hand grinding in our workshop, then professional heat treatment back at Voestalpine. That is why the hardness figures below are reliable.
