In addition to their stunning damascus finish, they produce a wide array of shapes that cover every job you’ll need a knife for in the kitchen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handles incorporate more steel than many Japanese blades, much like the full tang handles we’re used to. Combined with their incredibly high-performance steel, you get a blade capable of extreme precision and sharpness with a confident, recognizable feel in hand. As a result, these knives are especially beloved by both professional chefs and home cooks who are making the transition to Japanese steel from a background with German knives. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMcusta is a family business specializing in creating the best luxury blades, from kitchen knives to scissors. While most factory-made knives are stamped out from steel, Mcusta laser cuts their knives to create their trademark blades as precisely as possible. After the blades are cut, all the assembly and sharpening is done by hand to ensure an excellent fit and finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003eThe Chinese cleaver (chuka-bocho in Japanese) is a unique and versatile shape of the knife. For many classically trained Chinese chefs, these hefty blades are their chef's knife, performing nearly every kitchen task imaginable. Those who have trained seriously can wield these with precision and grace rarely seen in western kitchens.\u003cbr\u003eThey come in a variety of blade thicknesses, ranging from razor-thin for slicing garlic, to wedge-thick for splitting bones. Many chefs will sharpen different parts of their chuka-bocho for different purposes, allowing them to do everything with one large blade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG10\/ stainless clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEstimated HRC of 60-62\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material: \u003c\/strong\u003ePakkawood\/nickle ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 339g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Le\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 180mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle: \u003c\/strong\u003eWa Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry.
