Its versatile profile suits mincing vegetables, chopping herbs, cutting boneless meat and slicing fish. Handcrafted in Japan, it's aimed at demanding home cooks as well as professionals.

It thus keeps a high-performance edge over time and resists wear effectively. Two softer steel layers wrap around this core to improve the mechanical strength of the whole.
