Anano 8.5″ 3-Layer AUS10 Steel Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
The Anano 8.5″ Kiritsuke Knife is a statement of modern craftsmanship, designed to inspire confidence and deliver professional-level performance in every kitchen.
3-Layer AUS10 Core Strength
At its heart lies a resilient AUS10 steel core clad in three layers of stainless steel for exceptional durability and edge retention. This construction balances razor-sharp precision with the toughness needed for everyday culinary demands, ensuring a blade that stays keen through countless preparations.
Striking Hammered Finish
The blade’s hand-hammered surface is more than beautiful; the subtle texture reduces drag and helps ingredients release cleanly as you cut. The dark, organic patterning creates a unique visual character, giving every knife its own signature look.
Mkuruti Wood Handle Elegance
The handle is crafted from richly grained Mkuruti wood, prized for its natural depth of color and distinctive marbling. Its warm, smooth surface offers a secure, comfortable grip, while the faceted profile provides excellent balance and control for precise, confident movements whether slicing fish for sashimi or carving a roast.
Effortless Precision, Chef-Level Control
Honed to a fine edge, the Anano glides through vegetables, meats, and delicate herbs with minimal effort. Perfect weight distribution and an ergonomic design make it feel like an extension of your hand, turning everyday cooking into a masterful experience.
A Centerpiece of Culinary Art
The Anano 8.5″ 3-Layer AUS10 Steel Kiritsuke Knife is more than a tool—it is a refined statement piece that elevates both the look of your kitchen and the artistry of your cooking.

Such good value. My girlfriend bought it for me and i use it daily. Its got a lovely patina starting on the core steel. If i had to be picky, the fit and finish on the ferrule isnt perfect but its sound.

Not blown away. It cuts fine but i thought the AUS10 would hold an edge better, it needs a strop after a couple of heavy preps. The handle also feels a bit cheap for the price point. Its decent enough but i probably wouldnt buy it again, would save up for something better.

Good purchase. Slices wonderfully and the finish gets compliments whenever anyone sees it. I find the handle a smidge slick when my hands are wet but if i hold it with a cloth it’s perfect. Not a dealbreaker.

Banging knife for the money. Works a treat on veg and boneless meat. The only thing stopping it being a 5 is that the spine could do with a chamfer, its a bit sharp on my index finger during a pinch grip. Nothing a bit of sandpaper wont fix.
Matt Evans (verified owner) –
Superb value. It arrived well packaged and scary sharp. The only reason not 5 stars is that the hammered pattern is a bit inconsistent near the heel but it doesnt affect performance at all.
Rhys Smith (verified owner) –
Lovely knife. The weight distribution is ace, just rests nicely in the hand. I do a lot of batch cooking and this has made chopping 5kg of onions bearable. Stays sharp ages.
Ash L. (verified owner) –
Really rate this knife. The AUS10 is great, i can go weeks without sharpening. My only nitpick is the weight distribution is slightly blade heavy for my taste but its a personal thing. Still use it loads.
Kelly (verified owner) –
Was a bit nervous about the size but its perfect for everything. Did a big batch of stir fry and it made quick work of all the prep. Cant fault it for 60 quid.
Kris Fox (verified owner) –
Superb knife. Ive been cooking for 30 years and this is one of the best ive used. The AUS10 steel takes a wicked edge. My whetstones love it too, very easy to sharpen.

Bought this for my dad for fathers day and hes over the moon. He keeps sending me pictures of vegetables hes sliced wafer thin. The handle is comfy and the packaging was really nice, felt like a proper gift.
