The Japanese Kiritsuke knife stands out for its unique shape and versatility. Its tall, thin blade combines elements from other Japanese knives like the Yanagiba and Usuba, making it an exceptionally versatile tool. This asymmetrical blade, usually with a single bevel, allows for precise and clean cuts across a wide variety of ingredients, from slicing fish to chopping vegetables. Kiritsuke knives are made from high-quality steels, ensuring they maintain a sharp edge for a long time. With their wooden handle, these knives also embody a Japanese aesthetic that blends functionality with beauty.

Despite their versatility and special design, it's important to note that Kiritsuke knives require careful maintenance, including regular sharpening due to their unique bevel. They are often considered professional kitchen tools due to their ability to tackle various tasks.

Care for Tempered Steel

420 stainless steel is a type of martensitic steel, known for its corrosion resistance and hardness. It remains magnetic under any conditions.

Cleaning: Wash the steel with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining.

Storage: Store the steel in a dry place to prevent rust. You can apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the metal parts if it will not be used for an extended period.

Avoid exposure to moisture: Tempered steel is prone to corrosion when constantly exposed to moisture.

Avoid leaving it in humid environments. Avoid contact with corrosive substances: Keep the steel away from corrosive chemicals that could damage its surface.

Maintenance: Ensure the blade's edge is kept in optimal condition using a sharpening rod or steel sharpener. A sharp knife is safer and more efficient.

Safety: Keep tempered steel knives out of the reach of children and use them only for their intended purpose, which is cutting food.

Ojeda Knives Warranty: 100% warranty on the knife blade against any manufacturing defects. Please note that handle materials are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. However, in case of severe damage, they may be evaluated and, at the manufacturer's discretion, replaced.
