I.O.Shen knives have been handcrafted by master craftsmen using Japanese steel and with paring them with westernised handles with a Tai Tang design. Super sharp edges and the hardest stainless steel result in beautiful-looking knives that are perfectly weighted and balanced, with long-lasting blades that rarely need sharpening because they maintain their edge so well. This is one of the most versatile knives in the I.O.Shen range. The depth to the blade makes light work of tough root vegetables such as swede, butternut squash and turnips whilst the dramatic curve acts like a mezeluna and is perfect for ‘rock’ chopping delicate herbs. The point mimics a chef’s knife to allow you to do intricate work and the depth ensures that your fingers are kept safe! This is a stunning looking knife and totally unique in design. Note: This product cannot be sold to any person under the age of 18.
