Product Description:
Are You looking for a Kiritsuke knife from Solingen that cuts precisely, feels good in the hand and has a striking look? This VOCUT Kiritsuke knife with an 18.5 cm cutting edge, hand-finished edge, 15° sharpening angle and olive wood handle combines a Japanese-inspired blade shape with Solingen knife craftsmanship.
A Kiritsuke knife is especially interesting when You want a versatile kitchen knife for precise cuts. The distinctive blade shape supports You when cutting vegetables, fish, meat and herbs. Thanks to the long cutting edge, You can guide ingredients cleanly, make fine cuts and prepare or plate food with control.
I grew up in Solingen surrounded by knife craftsmanship. My father worked for many years as a finisher for Solingen knife manufacturers. Because of that, I learned early what really matters in a good knife: it has to cut cleanly, feel balanced in the hand and prove itself in daily use. That same mindset defines this Kiritsuke knife.
The blade is made of rust-resistant X50CrMoV15 stainless steel / 1.4116 knife steel. This steel is often used for high-quality kitchen knives because it offers a good balance of sharpness, easy care and corrosion resistance. With a hardness range of 56–58 HRC, the Kiritsuke is practical, stable and well suited for regular use in Your kitchen.
The edge is produced with a 15° sharpening angle. This creates a fine, precise cutting edge that supports clean cuts and gives You good control when working with vegetables, fish, meat and herbs.
With a total length of 32 cm, a full blade length of 20 cm, an 18.5 cm cutting edge and approx. 130 g weight, the knife feels light and precise in the hand. The 4 cm wide blade gives You good guidance while cutting, while the 12 cm handle remains secure and comfortable to hold.
The triple-riveted handle is made of olive wood from Italy. At VOCUT, I like this combination of function and character. Olive wood feels warm, offers a comfortable grip and gives each knife its own natural appearance through the grain. That turns a kitchen knife into something You actually enjoy using.
A typical real-life use case is precise preparation in Your kitchen: cutting vegetables into fine strips, portioning fish cleanly, preparing meat, cutting herbs or arranging food neatly on the plate. If You enjoy cooking with attention to detail and value control, this Kiritsuke knife gives You calm guidance on the board.
For me, VOCUT is not an anonymous brand name, but a personal knife project from Solingen. The goal is not just to offer knives that look good, but knives that perform in real use. If You want to learn more about our origin and knives from the blade city, You can find more information on our page knives from Solingen.
If You want to personalize Your Kiritsuke knife, this model is also optionally suitable for laser engraving. Whether it is a name, a short custom text or a logo, it can become a personal gift or a knife with its own identity. You can also find answers about engraving, care and shipping in our frequently asked questions.
