What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Other Japanese knives of this 150mm length are small, for detail work and compact boards.
- It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
- Swedish stainless (UX10) is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
- It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.
Limits to know
- Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A traditional Japanese knife made for one specific job. Swedish stainless (UX10) is stainless: it won't rust in normal use, so it is the easy choice for everyday cooking. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
