OUL SLD - Nashiji Kiritsuke - 210mm
A Kiritsuke is a Japanese hybrid knife, blending features of the Gyuto (chef’s knife) and Yanagiba (slicer). It has a long, flat blade with a distinct k-tip, ideal for precise slicing and chopping. Traditionally, single-beveled Kiritsuke knives were reserved for executive chefs in Japanese kitchens as a symbol of status. Today, double-beveled versions offer greater versatility, making Kiritsuke a refined, multi-purpose knife favored by experienced chefs.
This Kiritsuke features stainless nashiji (pear-skinned) cladding with a SLD steel core, offering the sharpness and edge retention of traditional high-carbon steel with added toughness and stain resistance.
With a stainless-clad blade and a nashiji (pear skin) finish, this knife blends refined aesthetics with practical performance. Paired with a Western-style walnut handle and an integrated bolster, it offers superior comfort, balance, and effortless cutting precision.

Composition of SLD Steel:
Carbon (C): 1.40–1.60% (Enhances hardness and edge retention)
Chromium (Cr): 11.00–13.00% (Provides corrosion resistance and wear resistance)
Molybdenum (Mo): 0.80–1.20% (Increases strength and toughness)
Vanadium (V): 0.20–0.50% (Improves hardness and grain refinement)
Manganese (Mn): 0.20–0.50% (Enhances hardenability and toughness)
Silicon (Si): 0.10–0.50% (Adds strength and wear resistance)
Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.030% (Kept low to maintain toughness)
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% (Minimizes impurities for better durability)
Key Features of SLD Steel:
Semi-stainless properties due to high chromium content, offering better corrosion resistance than high-carbon steels.
Excellent edge retention and sharpness, similar to traditional reactive carbon steels.
Tougher than most high-carbon steels, making it more resistant to chipping.
Used in high-end kitchen knives, woodworking tools, and industrial cutting applications.
SLD steel is valued for its durability, sharpness, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for high-performance knives.
