The Osaka Korouchi 9-Inch Chef Knife is a heavyweight, super-sharp chef's knife that's ideal for everything from slicing bread and dicing onions to peeling potatoes and chopping meat. Its black-oxide blade is double beveled and hand-sharpened using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke method—the blade is first polished and then sharpened in three stages. This ensures an incredibly durable knife that will resist rusting and maintain its edge for years to come.
The handle is made of black gold foil and wrapped in blue & gold foil. The result is an elegant and comfortable grip that helps you get more done without getting tired, making this knife an essential addition to any kitchen.
