Handmade by our friend Kuya Mokit from Indonesia — a smith who seems to level up every single year. You can see the progression in his work: cleaner tapers, sharper edge finishing, more controlled grinds, and cladding lines that keep getting more intentional and refined. He’s one of those makers who never stops improving, and every knife reflects that momentum.
This Kiritsuke keeps the traditional kiritsuke silhouette but adds a more modern, grounded feel with its dark-etched finish and confident blade geometry. The grind is intentionally a bit bulkier, adding a touch of weight and giving the T10 carbon steel core more stability and resistance through tougher ingredients. Wrapped in stainless cladding with a Copper Shim, the transitions show beautifully — you can clearly see how the geometry flows down into that thin, smooth cutting edge.
Visually striking, sturdy where it matters, and still fully one-of-one — this piece carries the personality of a craftsman who keeps pushing himself forward with every knife he makes.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
