The OUL SLD Nashiji Kiritsuke 210mm is a refined Japanese hybrid knife that blends the slicing precision of a Yanagiba with the versatility of a Gyuto. Featuring a long, flat edge and distinctive k-tip profile, this Kiritsuke excels at clean slicing, controlled chopping, and precise tip work.

Traditionally, single-beveled Kiritsuke knives were reserved for executive chefs in Japanese kitchens as a symbol of status. Today, double-beveled versions offer greater versatility, making Kiritsuke a refined, multi-purpose knife favored by experienced chefs.

Crafted with stainless (pear-skinned) nashiji cladding and a semi-stainless SLD steel core, this knife delivers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and stain resistance while maintaining the sharp feel of traditional high-carbon steel. The pear-skin finish enhances food release and adds a subtle, rustic aesthetic.

Paired with a Western-style walnut handle and integrated bolster, the knife offers excellent balance, comfort, and control for extended prep sessions. Made in Sakai City, Osaka, this Kiritsuke is ideal for experienced cooks seeking a high-performance, multi-purpose Japanese knife.

Composition of SLD Steel:

  • Carbon (C): 1.40–1.60% (Enhances hardness and edge retention)

  • Chromium (Cr): 11.00–13.00% (Provides corrosion resistance and wear resistance)

  • Molybdenum (Mo): 0.80–1.20% (Increases strength and toughness)

  • Vanadium (V): 0.20–0.50% (Improves hardness and grain refinement)

  • Manganese (Mn): 0.20–0.50% (Enhances hardenability and toughness)

  • Silicon (Si): 0.10–0.50% (Adds strength and wear resistance)

  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.030% (Kept low to maintain toughness)

  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% (Minimizes impurities for better durability)

Key Features of SLD Steel:

  • Semi-stainless properties due to high chromium content, offering better corrosion resistance than high-carbon steels.

  • Excellent edge retention and sharpness, similar to traditional reactive carbon steels.

  • Tougher than most high-carbon steels, making it more resistant to chipping.

  • Used in high-end kitchen knives, woodworking tools, and industrial cutting applications.

SLD steel is valued for its durability, sharpness, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for high-performance knives.
