Calm in every cut.
The ZEN Kiritsuke was made for those who treat cooking as craft — a moment of focus, rhythm, and intention. Designed for effortless precision, this 8-inch kiritsuke knife combines balance and control in every movement.
Its 2.5 mm-thick blade offers strength, sharpness, and smooth cutting performance that lasts. The hand-hammered finish helps food glide off the blade with ease.
Crafted with beige resin and natural African Mkuruti wood for the handle, it's striking as it is comfortable to hold — warm, refined, and completely unique.
Each set comes complete with a #1000-grit whetstone and a bamboo whetstone holder, giving you the tools to maintain its edge with the same care it was crafted with. A Tagalog and English maintenance and sharpening guide is also included for easy upkeep.
Packaged in a premium ITAMAE gift box, with an ITAMAE cleaning cloth and collectible pin, the ZEN Kiritsuke is more than a knife
— it’s a tool for those who find focus in the kitchen.
