A carbon steel knife hand forged in the South Korea blacksmith shop run by Master Shin In-young. With rough, forged finish and sharp, toothy edge, the upswept, hidden-tang blade flows into the natural hickory wood handle with forged steel rings. This rustic, simple approach to design and construction makes this a traditionally crafted, utilitarian knife that will make fast work for all variety of slicing needs both indoors, or out on a cutting board beside the fire. A unique, handmade gift for anyone who loves to cook.
