Why Chefs Trust It

The 8.5” Gladiator Series double-bevel Kiritsuke is a push cut and slicing specialist. Designed with a sword-like front end, this visually stunning blade is a high-performance instrument of exceptional effectiveness. The flat geometry of the blade’s edge facilitates push-cuts over rocking cuts, making it an ideal choice for those chefs who prepare large numbers of vegetables. The Kiritsuke blends the Japanese Yanagiba (fish slicer) with a Usuba (vegetable knife) making it a versatile alternative to a chef’s knife. This is one knife worth having in your knife roll.

Featuring a beautiful, ergonomic, and ambidextrous imported black G10 Garolite handle imported from Spain (laminated for extra strength, sanitation, and water/stain resistance) the Gladiator Series kiritsuke knife is carefully designed for maximum control and effectiveness. This knife is as pleasing to hold as it is to look at, featuring a perfectly engineered balance with satisfying heft and presence. The hand-polished bolster adds counterweight and offers finger protection, while the triple rivets (with signature Dalstrong center rivet) in the handle ensure the highest level of strength and robustness.   

The Blade:

  • Precision forged, ultra sharp, wear resistant, single-piece, high carbon German ThyssenKrupp Steel at 56+ Rockwell
  • The edge is painstakingly hand sharpened to 16-18° per side, maintaining the perfect balance between blade sharpness and maximum resilience
  • Tall blade height gives knuckle clearance to assist with food preparation and chopping activity
  • Beautiful hand polished satin finish blade
  • Tapered design for hardness and flexibility
  • Added chromium for stain resistance
  • Precisely tempered for added durability
  • Polished spine to facilitate a comfortable pinch grip 
  • B071L64D8Z: National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Certified

 The Handle:

  • Full tang for incredible robustness & quality
  • Military grade G10 handle for life-long durability
  • Highly impervious to heat, cold and moisture
  • Triple riveted for even more durability
  • Mirror polished, finger protective bolster provides for a perfectly engineered balance with just the right heft
  • Ergonomic handle shape for maximum comfort, grip and maneuverability
  • Stainless steel second bolster (end cap) adds counter balance and distinction
  • Engraved Dalstrong center rivet
  • Cleans easily for low maintenance

Includes:

  • Gladiator Series 8.5" Kiritsuke Chef's Knife
  • PerfectFit Dalstrong Sheath
  • Neatly Packed with Dalstrong’s Renowned Packaging
  • Dalstrong Support
