The k-tip point, cut at an angle, is used for precise cuts and detail work. The long profile covers vegetables, meat and fish on the same board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 270 mm, the kiritsuke is suited to long, continuous cuts, such as slicing a fillet or breaking down a large piece, rather than work on small items, where the length needs more room. The k-tip point remains the tool for detail: starting a cut into a piece, trimming with precision. The handle is Akaro. This length calls for a clear work surface and a sufficiently wide board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShirogami #1 (White Steel #1)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a non-stainless carbon steel with no chromium or tungsten, graded at 1.25 to 1.35% carbon and a hardness of 63 to 65 HRC. It takes a very acute edge and holds it. On a whetstone, it takes more passes than Shirogami #2, and it is more brittle than the latter, so bones and hard surfaces are best avoided. Reactive to moisture and acids, it develops a patina quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the blade during and after every use. The patina that forms is normal. Apply a thin film of camellia oil for extended storage and never wash in the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baba Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875478012078,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8600\/4398\/files\/kagekiyo-shirogami-1-yanagi-kiritsuke-270mm-akaro-1_2587a795-e9b8-4692-b421-6652109ef653.jpg?v=1793174746","url":"https:\/\/staysharpmtl.com\/en\/products\/kagekiyo-shirogami-1-yanagi-kiritsuke-270mm-akaro","provider":"Stay Sharp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
