Good to know
Can I choose the handle colour?
Each handle is unique, so the colours vary from knife to knife and can’t be chosen. Some have several colours, others fewer.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry it straight after use to keep the edge sharp and the handle looking its best.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is free worldwide on every order. Most orders arrive within 7–10 business days; remote areas can take a little longer.
What if it’s not right for me?
You have 180 days to return it, as long as it's complete, undamaged and in its original packaging.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Kiritsuke knife is covered by our lifetime warranty.
