The Kinju series takes the traditional yanagiba\/sashimi profile and pairs it with AUS-8A stainless steel for a blade that's easier to maintain than carbon steel while still delivering the thin, clean slices that Japanese cuisine demands. The single-bevel grind creates a concave back (urasuki) that reduces drag and allows the blade to release cleanly from the cut. The octagonal black PakkaWood handle sits comfortably in the hand through extended prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bevel knives require whetstone sharpening - sharpen the bevel side only, then lightly deburr the flat back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use a honing rod - single-bevel geometry requires whetstone maintenance only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip, in a saya, or in a knife block to protect the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29776592470094,"sku":"AK1106","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/50331598-1.jpg?v=1675121796","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/seki-magoroku-kinju-sashimi-knife-240mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
