Made in Sakai, Osaka

[Features]
Kiristuke is originally a knife for slicing a Japanese dish called "Yosemono" or "Nagashimono", which is made of agar. Since the long straight blade is similar to Yanagiba and Usuba, it is often used for slicing sashimi and cutting vegetables too.
The forged VG10 stainless steel can keep its sharpness longer than Gingami No.3 carbon steel.

[Precaution]
- NOT dishwasher safe
- To prevent rust, thoroughly wipe the knife after washing.
- Please read the instruction before usage.
