Kikuichi Carbon Steel 150mm (6") Hankotsu Maru (Sakabone)

Carbon steel is the workhorse of the knife industry. In use for nearly a millennium, it holds a super sharp edge and is easy to sharpen. These single steel blades are tough and sharp, with an edge geometry that is like a faster, thinner version of its European counterparts. Light and easy to sharpen, Kikuichi's Carbon Steel series takes a very keen edge due to the fine grain structure of the steel. Blade Single steel; SK-4 carbon steel HRC 60-61 Bevel (Angle Ratio) Double (70:30) Handle Eco wood CAUTION: Blade will patina and may rust if left wet. This is NOT a stainless steel.
