Key Features:

Nakiri / Kataba-Style Edge for Precision Vegetable Work: The 6.5" (165 mm) blade features a kataba-style edge specifically engineered to slice through firm vegetables cleanly without cracking or tearing, enabling thinner, more precise cuts ideal for high-volume prep.
Triplex Steel Technology for Superior Edge Retention: A core layer of super-hard ERDON 62° steel is sandwiched between two outer layers of softer ERDON 10° steel, overcoming the brittleness typically associated with hard steel while producing an exceptionally durable, long-lasting cutting edge.
Hand-Ground 15° Blade Angle with Mirror Finish: Each blade is individually honed to a precise 15° angle by a skilled craftsman, then hand polished to a mirror finish, delivering outstanding sharpness right out of the box and effortless slicing performance.
Intensive Handcrafting Process: Every knife undergoes an average of 7 hours of meticulous handcrafting, ensuring consistent quality and a level of refinement that sets it apart from mass-produced alternatives.
Structural Tai Tang Handle Construction: The Tai Tang is not a cosmetic element but a functional, integral component of the handle frame, providing a secure connection between blade and handle for improved balance and long-term structural integrity.
Durable Ebonite Handle with Yin Yang Design: Crafted from ebonite, the handle is heat-resistant and built for the demands of professional kitchen environments. The distinctive Yin Yang-inspired design improves grip balance and stability while serving as a hallmark of the I.O. Shen brand.
Hand Wash Only for Longevity: To preserve the blade's edge and handle integrity, hand washing is required, ensuring this knife maintains peak performance over years of professional use.
