Pro Tip:

Pro tip: Use the flat blade geometry of the Kiritsuke for the Japanese push-cut technique: Guide the knife through the food with a forward, pushing motion. This technique minimizes cell damage and ensures particularly clean cuts – ideal for sashimi and raw vegetables.The distinctive K-tip is ideal for fine precision work: scoring fish before frying, removing meat from bones, or decorative cutting of vegetables is effortless. For best results, maintain a flat cutting angle of about 15°.

With the Güde , you will experience how effortlessly you can cut wafer-thin slices of vegetables for carpaccio or how precisely you can fillet fresh salmon and tuna. Portioning sashimi into even slices, artfully cutting julienne strips, or finely dicing shallots —you can master all of this with ease thanks to the flat blade and characteristic K-Tip.The versatile blade shape is also suitable for cutting meat, chopping herbs with a rocking motion, or precisely portioning poultry. Whether Asian cuisine, Mediterranean dishes, or classic German home cooking – the Kiritsuke is your reliable partner for all kinds of demanding cutting tasks.
