The knife is sharpened on one side to form a single bevel edge with a slightly concave flat grind on the opposite side for a more precise and uniform cutting edge. The 240mm blade is made of Masahiro Stainless Steel alloy MBS-26 Chrome-Molybdenum and Vanadium Stainless steel with stabilized black Stamina wood handle. This series was awarded "Good Design" by Japan's M.I.T.I. The knife comes in original gift box - don't miss this closeout pricing, quantities are limited!
