The Kiritsuke chef knife (切付包丁) is a hybrid of the Gyuto and Yanagiba, two distinct Japanese chef knives. It is longer than the Gyuto, but unlike the Yanagiba, it has an angled point also called “reverse Tanto” or “K-tip”.
The Gyuto (牛刀) is the Japanese equivalent of the chef knife, nimble and well-balanced for a comfortable grip, able to cut anything except bones and frozen food.
