Master Shin - Sashimi Kitchen Knife

A hand-forged and hand-hammered carbon steel knife made in South Korea following old-world techniques and featuring a traditional minimalistic design - high quality, functional and a true work of art.

This sashimi knife can be used for the traditional preparation of fish but also does a great job very thinly slicing fruit and vegetables. 

The knive undergoes water treatment to enhance the cutting power and longevity compared to oil. The blade hardness should be approximately 57-62 degrees. While high-end knives often exceed 60 degrees, a Master Shin knife focuses on achieving a balance between strength and flexibility. Exceeding 60 degrees can lead to blade breakage.

Handling & care:

• Do not cut frozen food
• Sharpen with wet stone not sharpening steel
• Do not use on very hard surfaces, wooden cutting boards are good
• Do not put into dishwasher
• If knife gets stuck while using, pull it out vertically and not side-ways

When cared for properly, the knife will serve you well for decades to come
