Zakuri 210mm Blue #1 Kurouchi Yanagiba/Sujihiki

This Zakuri 210mm Blue #1 Kurouchi Yanagiba/Sujihiki is a double beveled knife. The D-Shaped handle is made of walnut and comes with a plastic ferrule. This knife is a very versatile size and shape. It would make a great all purpose knife at home or a wonderful line knife for a professional cook or chef who is comfortable with carbon. The blue #1 steel takes a very good edge and holds it a pretty long time. This knife is carbon, so it can rust if not cared for properly. The kurouchi finish does help protect the knife from rust a little.
