This is a Japanese-style sujihiki knife, the "Kurokage" series from Sakai Takayuki, a traditional brand from Sakai. As the name suggests, the jet-black fluorine coating on the blade is striking, making this knife both functional and beautiful. 【Product Features】 Amazing Food Release: The combined effect of the hammered finish (tsuchime) and fluorine coating minimizes food sticking. Slicing meat is exceptionally smooth. Rust-Resistant and Sharp: The core material is high-grade stainless steel, **"V Gold No. 10 (VG10)"**. It offers the hardness that professionals love, along with ease of maintenance. Beautiful Japanese-Style Handle: The handle is made of luxurious "Wenge wood." It's water-resistant and provides an excellent grip. Versatile Sujihiki: Originally designed for removing sinew from meat, its long, slender shape also makes it ideal for slicing sashimi (as a substitute for a yanagiba knife) and for slicing roast beef. 【Specifications】 Manufacturer: Sakai Takayuki (Aoki Hamono Seisakusho) Blade Length: 240mm Steel: V Gold No. 10 (Stainless Steel) Finish: Hammered Fluorine Coating Handle: Wenge Wood, Octagonal Buffalo Horn Bolster Blade: Double-edged (for right-handed and left-handed users) 【Condition】 (New, unused.
