Kai Seki Magoroku Ginju sashimi knife (yanagiba) with a 240 mm blade, made in Japan. The blade is forged from a carbon steel composite, joining carbon steel with soft iron for a tough body that offers both sharpness and ease of sharpening. A wet flat-front edge finish uses a very fine whetstone with water, providing a delicate edge while avoiding hardness loss from friction heat. The handle is made of natural wood.
Dimensions: approx. 34 x 375 x 20 mm; Blade length approx. 240 mm; Weight approx. 157 g; Model AK-5209; Made in Japan
Care: This is a carbon steel knife that can rust. After use, clean off any dirt and wipe dry thoroughly. Leaving dirt or moisture on the blade may cause rust.
