{"product_id":"couteau-kiritsuke-damas-21-cm-nacre-abalone","title":"Iris · Damascus Kiritsuke Knife 8\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"cd-intro\"\u003eSame length as the Iris chef knife (8 inches), but with a flatter blade and an angled tip: the kiritsuke slices with a push or pull stroke instead of a rocking motion. It shines on raw fish, meat and precise tip work, while the chef knife stays handier for chopping herbs. It weighs 8.4 oz. Abalone shell handle set in resin, with rivets, a steel bolster and a gold mosaic pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kiritsuke is a versatile Japanese-style knife with an angled tip, somewhere between a chef knife and a yanagiba. Its long, fairly flat blade slices meat and fish in a single stroke, and the angled tip handles precise work: fine chopping, scoring, skinning. You use it like a chef knife, with a straighter, cleaner cut. Japanese-style blade, thin and hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Iris Damascus Kiritsuke Knife 8\" has a blade made of 67 layers of damascus steel around a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC. The handle is abalone shell set in clear resin: it shifts from green to blue to violet as the light moves. Every shell is different, so every handle is one of a kind. A steel bolster joins handle and blade, and a gold mosaic pin sets off the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping and Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamascus Knife ships free with tracking across the United States: 1 to 3 business days to prepare, then 8 to 14 business days in transit, import duties included.
