Masamoto Hon-Kasumi Shirogami Steel Nagoya-style Eel Knife
Description
The "Nagoya-style Eel Knife" features a slender, rectangular blade shape, making it highly practical and easy to handle. The front end of the spine is chamfered to prevent damage to the eel’s flesh during cutting. Compared to other styles, the handle is relatively long, providing users with greater control and ease of use during preparation.
The "KS Hon-Kasumi" series knives are forged using Japanese White #1 steel (HRC 62–63) as the core, clad with soft iron in a two-layer construction.
This steel offers exceptional sharpness and durability, producing a blade that is both razor-sharp and tough, while remaining relatively easy to sharpen. These characteristics make this series especially ideal for professional unagi chefs who demand and maintain extreme sharpness in their tools.
Handle: Japanese-style rounded Magnolia handle with buffalo ferrule
This product comes with a Magnolia wood Saya.
