Properly Using a Kiritsuke Knife

Also known as the Japanese master chef’s knife, the kiritsuke knife takes practice and patience to get used to and use to its full potential.

Because these knives are extremely sharp, they must be used slowly and carefully while practicing, so you do not accidentally injure yourself. Here are some tips and tricks for proper use of a kiritsuke knife:

Position your feet. Keep one foot back and to the side a bit to shift your body and allow your arm for better range of motion.

The “pinch grip” is used. Take your index finger and thumb to hold the base or bolster of the blade while your other three fingers wrap around the handle.
Pull up toward yourself and push down and away from yourself. Not as much of a rocking motion as with other knives, unless the blade of your kiritsuke is curved.
Tip of the knife cutting. Japanese chefs tend to use the tip of their knives more than traditional western chefs. The tip of the knife goes down on the board to get very precise, clean slices.
