KAI Sashimi Knife 240mm Sekisen Roku Made in Japan AK5220
Product Description
Experience the precision and craftsmanship of a genuine Hagane Japanese knife, forged using traditional methods. This knife features a Hagane composite material, combining the sharpness of Hagane (steel) with the ease of sharpening provided by soft iron. The result is a tough, durable blade that excels in performance.
The knife is equipped with a buffalo horn mouthpiece, known for its robustness, durability, and water resistance. This unique material tightens when it absorbs water, making the blade difficult to pull out and ensuring a secure fit.
For those who value precision, the knife boasts a wet-type hira-mae edging, achieved using a very fine grinding stone. This method allows for delicate and precise cutting, while the application of water during sharpening helps avoid the hardness drop caused by friction heat.
The handle is crafted from natural wood, designed to fit comfortably in your hand, providing a secure and ergonomic grip.
