A special build from Don Carlos Andrade in his longstanding kiritsuke profile with the size and balance to be your go-to knife for all cuts in any kitchen. The 1095 carbon steel blade receives a silky, clay-directed hamon line, the result of Don's hardening, etching, and polishing process. The handle, sculpted in Don's wa-style rendition, features striking spalted maple wood with vintage Westinghouse micarta inlay and raspberry cotton line wrap.
