The high-carbon steel blade is hardened to Rc58-62, the same hardness spec used across all four blade profiles in this carving knife line.
This traditional Japanese carving knife is made in Japan.
The 4 1/2" handle is contoured oak, shaped to seat comfortably in the hand for extended carving sessions.
A brass bolster and a brass through-pin secure the blade to the handle, giving the joint a traditional look along with a solid mechanical hold.
Buying the four-knife set makes sense if you carve regularly and want the curved, convex, stab and skew profiles on hand together; buying this Japanese carving knife on its own suits someone who already owns the others or wants to try the convex profile first.
