The carving knife is a staple in the kitchen of any omnivore. With a long, narrow blade, thinner than a typical chef's knife, this knife can tackle anything from a Thanksgiving turkey to whole watermelon.

Function

A fine tip and a long, narrow blade, firm but ever so slightly flexible, allow the carving knife to glide through any cut of meat and maneuver around bones with ease. While ideal for carving and excellent for slicing, the curved blade and mildly offset handle also allow this knife to be used like a chef's knife for chopping.

Form

Sha Ra Ku Mono blades are forged from molybdenum-vanadium alloy stainless steel, which finely balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This material is slightly softer than the VG-10 steel used in other Tojiro knives and significantly harder than European knife steels.

The handle is made from hollow 18/8 stainless steel, crafted with the blade as a single piece. Much like a traditional wooden wa handle, its light weight keeps the knife's balance farther forward than on European knives. The ergonomic shape allows it to be gripped either by the handle or with a more versatile pinch grip.
