Artisan 5.25-Inch Prep Knife

Using traditional methods and innovative techniques, this knife merges the past and present into an exceptional tool you can use every day.

How it s made: The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. The hand-honed blade is finished with a true katana edge, an homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. Fabricated with special Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood, the handle mirrors the beauty of the blade.

Additional features: Hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process for a 9.5 to 12 degree edge. The CRYODUR blade is ice-hardened to Rockwell 63 SG2 with a core that s protected by two layers.

Sizing information: 5.25".
