Kiritsuke Petty VG-10 Damascus Gray Birch Handle 120mm (4.7”)

Beautiful Knife

I brought this knife from Kyoto. It's very beautiful, sharp and just like a piece of art. The lightness might be the most impressive part. Actually, I arranged this trip for this knife and I was glad to make such decision. I need to have the whole set in my kitchen one day...

A knife, or a work of art?

I purchased this knife from one of the Musashi stores in Kyoto, because I wanted to bring home a quality piece to remind me of my time in Japan. The choice of knife options from type to size to colour was amazing. I settled on the small and subtle Grey Birch Kiritsuke knife. However, the grain in the wooden handle and the pattern in the blade make even this choice seem like a piece of art. I’m looking forward to trying this in the kitchen. I recommend visiting one of the Musashi stores when you’re in Japan, even just to admire the beauty and quality of their craftsmanship.

Great knife

Enjoyed my experience with the store and staff. Great selection!
