Handmade in the USA by one of the season 8 champions of Forged in Fire, Joshua Fisher also known under Edge Knife Works. A full time knife maker and Forged In Fire Champion, he started making knives when he was 22 years old. Very fortunate, Joshua has also worked with Wounded Warrior Project teaching Veterans how to make knives, tomahawks, and other tools and provide a unique experience and outlet for the Veterans.

Kiritsuke are known as a multipurpose traditional Japanese chef knife. A Kiritsuke is visually appealing due to its unique shape and extremely popular as a primary knife in any kitchen to cut meats, vegetables, fruits and many more. Several makers now produce double-bevel Kiritsukes, often called Kiritsuke Gyutos which are ideal for users who appreciate the striking aesthetics of the profile but need the added versatility and ease of sharpening of a double bevel grind.

Traditionally, these knives were only used by the Executive Chefs as a symbol of status.

*This knife includes a storage case.
