Agila Series Kiritsuke Knife 

The Agila Series Kiritsuke Knife embodies the refined balance of Japanese design and Filipino craftsmanship. Traditionally reserved for master chefs in Japan, the Kiritsuke—meaning “slit open”—is a hybrid between the Gyuto (Japanese chef’s knife) and the Yanagiba (sashimi knife). Its long, elegant profile and distinctive angled tip make it both versatile and precise, capable of performing a wide range of slicing and cutting techniques with finesse.

This knife excels at slicing fish, fine vegetable work, and detailed preparation tasks. The pointed tip provides superior control for intricate cuts, while the extended blade length enables long, fluid motions ideal for sashimi and filleting. With its hybrid profile, the Kiritsuke serves beautifully as both a sashimi knife and a general-purpose chef’s knife.

Forged from carbon leaf spring steel, the blade offers exceptional edge retention, durability, and sharpness. It’s paired with a locally sourced Kamagong (Philippine Ebony) handle, shaped for ergonomic comfort and a secure, non-slip grip. This combination of high-performance steel and fine hardwood creates a knife that is both powerful and elegant.

As this knife is made from high-carbon steel, it is not rust-resistant. To preserve its condition, always dry the blade thoroughly after washing and apply a light coat of oil periodically to prevent corrosion.

Care & Maintenance

Agila Series knives forged from carbon leaf spring steel deliver exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and cutting performance. However, unlike stainless steel, carbon steel is not rust-resistant and requires proper care to maintain its condition and longevity.

To preserve your knife:

• Clean immediately after use with mild soap and water; avoid soaking or using a dishwasher.

• Dry thoroughly after washing — never leave the blade wet or air-dry.

• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil periodically to protect against moisture and oxidation.

• Store in its wooden saya or a dry knife block to prevent contact with other utensils or surfaces.

• Avoid cutting through bone, frozen food, or hard surfaces to protect the blade’s edge.

With consistent care, your Agila knife will develop a natural patina over time — a hallmark of carbon steel that enhances both its beauty and its resistance to corrosion.
