Dellinger Longevity Damascus Edition Gyuto/Chef Kiritsuke Knife 215 mm

Product detailed description

traditional Kiritsuke chef's knife Dellinger Longevity Damascus Edition®

The Kiritsuke is a traditional Japanese knife that combines elements of Yanagiba and Usuba, combining precision when cutting fish and efficiency when slicing vegetables. In Japan, it is considered a knife for experienced cooks, as its operation requires technical skill and precision.

Distinctive design and functionality

The blade of the Kiritsuke knife is longer and wider than that of conventional kitchen knives, with a distinctly bevelled tip that facilitates precise cuts. The blade is double-edged and is more suitable for universal use. Thanks to its design and precision craftsmanship, Kiritsuke is a popular tool not only among professional chefs, but also among Japanese cuisine enthusiasts looking for an exceptional and efficient knife.

Knives Dellinger Longevity Damascus Edition have a very sharp cutting core made of Japanese VG10 steel, which is well protected against corrosion. Japanese steel VG10 has a long-lasting sharpness at R61 +/- 1 Rockwell hardness. The core of Japanese VG10 steel is sandwiched between 66 layers of 2 stainless damascus steels ( damascus steel ), which provide exceptional durability and toughness. The perfectly balanced, precisely tapered Japanese-shaped blade with a shimmering damascene STORMY WAVES pattern minimises friction when cutting and prevents the material being cut from sticking to the blade. The Damascene pattern reminiscent of stormy seas STORMY WAVES is unique, unrepeatable and will become a symbol of your individuality.

Western style "Figured sycamore" handle made of sycamore wood, which has a unique texture resembling flamingos, ripples or stripes. This decorative effect is caused by the irregular growth of the wood and gives the knife handle a luxurious and elegant look. Thanks to its attractive design, figured sycamore is a popular material for premium knives because it combines aesthetics with strength and durability. The handle made of this wood not only looks great, but also offers a comfortable grip that every user will appreciate. Triple riveting in the centre with decorative rivets ensures perfect strength, stability and connection of the damascus blade to the handle.

The plane tree is often referred to as the "tree of longevity" because of its ability to reach old age, robust structure and resistance to adverse conditions. Some specimens live for several hundred years, with the oldest known plane trees being over 2000 years old. That's why the series is called Longevity, symbolizing strength, resilience and lasting value that endures for generations.

Knives with natural wood handles are not recommended to be washed in the dishwasher if you want them to stay sharp and beautiful for a long time.

Sharpening a kitchen knife

We recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% sure of your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.

Choose the right grinding tools

Grinding stone (whetstone) - the best choice for sharpening knives made of 1.4116 steel. Use a stone with a grit of around 1000 grit for basic grinding and around 3000-6000 grit for finer finishing and final sharpening.
Grinding rod (sharpener) - to maintain sharpness between grinds, you can use a sharpening rod to straighten the blade without removing material.
Stretching grinder - a great helper for quick and easy maintenance of common kitchen knives. Although not as precise as grinding on a grindstone, its advantages are speed, simplicity and convenience. For most home users, this is an excellent option for keeping knives sharp without the need for more complicated sharpening.

Cleaning a kitchen knife: every knife deserves care. Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it does not rust the blade, but the particles attached to the blade. It is better to take care of your knife and wash and oil it after use.
