One-Sentence Selling Point

A lightweight 8-inch Japanese-style Kiritsuke knife featuring a 210 mm 10Cr15CoMoV blade, 60±2 HRC hardness, approximately 15° hand-finished edge and distinctive burl wood-resin handle—built for private-label brands seeking performance with strong visual differentiation.

Product Overview

This 8-inch Kiritsuke knife combines a Japanese-inspired blade profile with premium materials and a distinctive natural wood-resin handle, making it suitable for B2B buyers developing mid-to-premium kitchen knife collections.

The blade uses 10Cr15CoMoV steel with a specified hardness of approximately 60±2 HRC. Its 210 mm blade length, 48 mm width and approximately 2.0 mm thickness provide a versatile geometry for slicing, meat preparation, vegetables and general kitchen work.

At approximately 186.3 g, the knife offers a relatively lightweight profile despite its long cutting edge—an attractive feature for buyers looking for a more agile alternative to heavier Western-style chef knives.

The burl wood + resin handle creates natural visual variation between individual knives and provides the product with stronger shelf and e-commerce appeal.

For importers, distributors and emerging knife brands, this model can be used as an existing platform for private-label customization, helping reduce the development cost and inventory risk associated with creating an entirely new knife from the beginning.

Core Advantages for B2B Buyers

1. 210 mm Kiritsuke-Style Blade

The longer 210 mm cutting edge provides a useful working length for slicing and general food preparation while retaining the recognizable angular profile associated with Japanese-style Kiritsuke knives.

For retailers and knife brands, this gives the product a stronger identity than another conventional chef knife.

2. 10Cr15CoMoV Steel + 60±2 HRC

A defined steel and hardness specification gives professional buyers a clearer basis for product evaluation.

The 10Cr15CoMoV blade with a specified 60±2 HRC hardness is positioned for brands seeking a higher-level product than basic entry-market stainless-steel knives.

More importantly, these specifications can become part of the approved sample standard before bulk production.

3. Lightweight 186.3 g Construction

At approximately 186.3 g, the knife combines a 210 mm blade with a comparatively lightweight overall construction.

This creates a different handling proposition from heavier Western chef knives and gives brands another meaningful product feature to communicate to end customers.

4. Approx. 15° Hand-Finished Edge

The blade uses an approximately 15° hand wet-sharpened edge, designed to deliver a sharp initial cutting experience.

For B2B buyers, edge consistency is especially important because sharpness is one of the first characteristics customers notice when evaluating a new kitchen knife.

5. Burl Wood + Resin Handle

The combination of natural burl wood and resin creates a distinctive premium appearance.

Because natural wood grain and resin distribution vary, each handle may show subtle visual differences. For brands selling through e-commerce, specialty retail or gift channels, this provides a stronger visual story than a conventional molded handle.

What Value Does This Product Offer Procurement Buyers?

For professional buyers, choosing a kitchen knife supplier should involve more than comparing FOB prices.

Before approving a supplier, buyers should be able to answer:

What steel will actually be used?
What hardness range is specified?
Can bulk production reproduce the approved sample?
Can dimensions and blade geometry remain controlled?
Can our logo and packaging be customized?
What happens when we reorder the same product?

That is why the physical sample should become the reference point for production.

For this model, buyers can define the required:

Steel → Hardness → Dimensions → Edge → Blade Finish → Handle → Logo → Packaging

before moving into mass production.

This approach helps reduce one of the biggest risks in private-label knife sourcing:

Receiving a good sample but inconsistent bulk production.
