Ready to use! Lasts a long time! Keeps cutting! Authentic handmade knives! Cuts quickly and cleanly, resulting in beautiful cuts that make ingredients taste delicious! Aogami No. 2 steel is used in professional knives, is hard, durable, and easy to sharpen. The handles are original. Blade: Aogami No. 2 steel (core material), soft iron (side material). Handle: Roasted Japanese elm (bolster: nylon resin). Blade length: Approximately 120mm. Total length: Approximately 255mm. Blade width: Approximately 40mm. Blade thickness: Approximately 2.1mm. Weight: 84g (size may vary slightly due to being handmade). These knives are made with particular attention to thickness, hardness, tenacity, and shape. Blades that are hard and thin cut well. However, hard and thin blades are prone to chipping. Therefore, the hardness is usually reduced or the blade is made slightly thicker. This "#14 series" achieves a blade that is as hard and thin as possible by repeatedly hammering the steel and forging it, and finishing the blade edge at an exquisite angle. This results in a knife with the best sharpness that lasts for a long time. We will ship via Nekopos within 24 hours. Immediate purchase is welcome! Comments are also welcome!
