The spines and choils are also nicely rounded and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiritsuke is a knife that combines the functionality of a yanagiba and usuba. It can be used for the tasks that either of those knives is well suited for. However, it is not an all-purpose chefs knife. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Gesshin Hide knife comes with a sticker guaranteeing that only certified craftsmen have worked on the knife, and each knife has a unique serial number.  This is rare, even in Sakai, where these knives are made.  Only the highest quality knives receive this honor.  We have included a picture of this sticker on the product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope you enjoy the Gesshin Hide line, as we are extremely proud to be carrying them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiritsuke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #1 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagon Ho Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 139mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.67mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 245mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 229mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.86mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.88mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.81mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.95mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 223g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamamoto Haken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17178776581,"sku":"GHD240KTB1OSR","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/FU9A8788.JPG?v=1478385008","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/gesshin-hide-240mm-blue-1-hon-kasumi-kiritsuke","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
