You can make the best sashimi.
Your cooking will go through a dramatic change!
This is a Kiritsuke (multipurpose) knife.
It is made of Japanese swords (Samurai Katana) technique for a long time, then it feature tough and sharpness.
Until recently, the Kiritsuke knife was similar to a Japanese-style beef knife. In short, anything can be a knife.
It has a wide range of uses, such as cutting vegetables and grinding sashimi.
Recently, the Japanese-style Gyuto has been overshadowed because it is easier to use.
However, a single-edged steel knife has a sharpness different from that of a Gyuto, and has a delicate sharpness unique to Japanese knives.
This knife uses blue 2 steel. The blade is harder and lasts longer than white steel.
The size is the length from the tip of the blade to the gusset (to the gap between the handle and the knife), not the length of the blade.
