Vanax Kiritsuke Japanese Chef Knife Blank - VXC03
The kiritsuke is the statement piece of a Japanese knife roll. Its angled reverse-tanto tip gives surgical precision for detail work, while the long flat edge slices cleanly in one pull.
Uddeholm Vanax is nitrogen-alloyed super stainless and effectively immune to rust. It combines the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless with 60 HRC hardness and cold-work tool steel wear resistance.
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.
