Master Shin's Anvil
#61 Fish Knife
Product Description
The #61 Fish Knife is hand forged from carbon steel with a shade-dried oak handle. This shashimi knife can be used for the traditional preparation of fish but also does a great job thinly slicing fruit and vegetables.
This collection was crafted by Master Shin In-Young, a 5th generation knife-maker from South Korea. In 2016, Master Shin was named an Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasure of Korea for his skill and contributions to the trade.
Master Shin repurposes the steel from railroad tracks to craft his knives and tools. This carbon steel is rich in manganese and can be heated to a very high temperature, making it wear-resistant and good for cutting. The steel is hammered a thousand times to reach the thin and sharp edge. The wood handles are slowly dried for years so they are lightweight, strong, and rot-resistant.

FAQ
Blade is repurposed railroad tracks, carbon steel.
Master Shins uses an X banding technique dang ghi around the wood handle without burning the wood, one of his many trademarks. In Korea the X mark was reserved traditionally for high-quality knives, so as to distinguish them from lesser quality iron-rich steel. Master Shin's blades are stamped with his mark, the #60 referring to his heritage status.
