AEB-L Kiritsuke Japanese Chef Knife Blank - AC03 (AC03)

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.

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.
