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.

Love the look of this knife, the hammered finish is proper nice. Cuts like a dream. I do wish they did it in a slightly longer version, maybe a 9.5 or 10 inch, as I’ve got big hands. But for the money, it’s a cracking bit of kit. Arrived next day which was a bonus.

Really nice knife, feels quality in the hand and the blade is super sharp. My only thing is the handle shape, it’s a bit more oval than I’m used to so took a day or two to get comfortable with. That said, I’m used to it now and it’s my go-to for most jobs. Great value.

Really sharp and well made. I find myself reaching for it most days. Only thing is I think I’d prefer a wa handle over this western style one, just personal preference. Still a top knife.

Got this as a present for my husband who loves to cook. He’s over the moon with it, says it’s a massive step up from his old supermarket knives. The hammered finish looks really smart and he says it holds its edge really well. He’s been showing it off to everyone!
Nicky Cole (verified owner) –
Lovely knife, does the job perfectly. The hammered finish is nice but does seem to attract little bits of food more than my smoother blades. Small thing really, still very happy.
Connor Evans (verified owner) –
Bought this for my dad and he loves it. He said the edge retention is great. He did mention the blade is a tiny bit thicker behind the edge than his other Japanese knife, so it doesn’t quite fall through food the same, but he still uses it all the time.

Lovely knife. Came really well packaged. The finish is beautiful and it’s just a pleasure to hold and use. My new favourite in the kitchen.

Got this as a birthday present for my husband and he absolutely loves it. The hammered finish looks amazing and he says its the sharpest knife he’s ever used. Came in a nice box too.

Great knife for the price. The AUS10 steel seems to hold an edge really well, I’ve not had to sharpen it yet after a month of daily use. It is a bit heavier than I expected, but not in a bad way, just different. Makes quick work of onions and peppers. Would recommend.
Kris Marsh (verified owner) –
So I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and it’s honestly brilliant. The edge is ridiculously sharp, makes prepping veg a total breeze. I was a bit nervous about the shape but it’s actually really versatile, used it on everything from herbs to a joint of beef. Handle feels solid too. Came in a nice box, no complaints at all.

Great value for money. Feels much more expensive than it is. The three layer construction gives it a nice heft without being too heavy.
Simon J. (verified owner) –
My first proper Japanese knife and I’m converted. The difference in feel and performance is night and day. It just glides through food.
