Kiritsuke San Mai Knife • 1095 & 15N20 Steel • Quebracho Wood

Description

The Concept: The Kiritsuke San Mai Knife

The Kiritsuke San Mai Knife stands out with its imposing 190 mm (7.5″) blade, forged with a high-carbon SAE 1095 steel core clad in 15N20 steel layers. The Brut de Forge finish provides an organic texture that tells the story of fire and hammer in every strike. This traditional Japanese silhouette is reimagined through Argentine craftsmanship, creating a tool that is as much a piece of art as it is a professional instrument.

Material Identity: Quebracho Colorado & Blue PSAI

The handle is handcrafted from Quebracho Colorado, one of Argentina’s most iconic and hardest woods, known for its extreme durability. It is accented with Blue PSAI (High-Impact Polystyrene), fusing the traditional warmth of the wood with a contemporary, vibrant touch. This ergonomic assembly ensures a secure grip for precision tasks in the kitchen. For more unique handle combinations.

Precision, Weight, and Artisan Protection

With a weight of 235 g (0.52 lbs) for the knife alone, it offers exceptional cutting inertia for fish, vegetables, and meats, while maintaining an agile 3 mm (0.12″) spine thickness. The set includes a reddish cowhide leather sheath, hand-chiseled and artisanally stitched to complement the Quebracho’s tones.
