Sohshin Blacksmith designed this knife especially for Japanese Knives Select. It has a pronounced curve to the edge making rock cutting an ease. The point at the top is perfect for slicing and trimming meats. The edge itself is Japanese high carbon steel, however it is clad, or sandwiched, between stainless steel. The handle is a type of cassia tree originating from India and Asia. This is a fantastic chefs knife that you will use for all kitchen tasks, even tomatoes and bread!
