Size: Blade length 145mm | Pattern (type): For left-handed use A Tsubame-Sanjo fish knife that pursues the balance of "ease of use," "durability," and "easy maintenance." Traditionally, when it comes to knives for fish, it is common to use Deba and Yanagiba knives, which are used by chefs and fishmongers. This fish cutting knife is a 2-in-1 knife that combines the best of Deba and Yanagiba in a well-balanced manner. We recommend this knife as an entry-level model for those who haven't been able to try their hand at fish handling until now, or those who are hesitant because they don't know anything about knives or tools. The overall structure is that of a Western-style knife that is familiar to modern chefs, but it is packed with the functions necessary for handling fish. The rust-resistant molybdenum-vanadium steel plate is 3.0mm thick and is sturdy enough to withstand dismantling of fish bones and other objects. (A typical Western knife is about 2.0 mm) The straight cutting edge makes it easy to see the cutting line and makes it easy to pull the skin. The sharp tip is convenient for detailed work such as removing cotton. The single-edged structure is essential for fish processing, which involves many steps of cutting with the knife lying down. Available for right and left hands. The laminated reinforced wood of the handle combines the best qualities of wood and resin, and has very little deterioration. The small size has a blade length of 145mm and is suitable for fish up to 50cm. For fish species larger than 50cm, a large blade length of 175mm is suitable. *Note* Although we use rust-resistant materials, this does not mean that there will be no rust at all. After use, wash thoroughly and wipe off moisture completely. If used as a blade with a thickness exceeding 5mm, the blade may chip. Please keep an eye on the situation when cutting while putting your weight on it. The left-handed version differs in cost, and is a little more expensive. Thank you for your understanding. This product cannot be sharpened with a simple double-edged sharpener. Please clean it by sharpening it with a single-edged sharpener or using a whetstone. About molybdenum-vanadium steel Molybdenum-vanadium steel is made of stainless steel with molybdenum (Mo), which makes hardness and strength less affected by temperature increases during quenching, and vanadium, which prevents softening and becomes more tenacious during tempering. Steel material with (V) added to dramatically improve wear resistance and tenacity. This material is extremely resistant to rust, and its hardness and strength are not affected by rising temperatures, so it is also used in hospitals and other places for surgical scalpels. Molybdenum vanadium steel has few impurities, and is characterized by having a good edge and blade durability among stainless steel knives. Laminated reinforced wood is made by impregnating wood veneers with phenolic resin, stacking them, and heating them under high pressure to form them. Due to its excellent strength, water resistance, and durability, it is also used in precision machinery parts, and although it is made of wood, it is resistant to moisture and highly water repellent. Furthermore, it has the texture of wood, has a good texture, and is easy to hold in your hands.
