This is the highest grade carving knife among the carving knives handled by our company. The blade is made by a traditional Japanese manufacturing method and is favored by professionals for its excellent sharpness. The blade is made of easy-to-sharpen steel, so if the sharpness deteriorates, it can be resharpened with a whetstone to restore the blade to a like-new sharpness. The ebony handle is hard and firmly supports the blade to prevent it from shifting. This is our most popular carving knife with many lovers.
