Master Shin's Anvil
Chef's Knife
Product Description
The Chef's Knife is hand forged from carbon steel with a shade-dried oak handle. This kitchen knife makes quick work of chopping a wide array of meat and heavier produce. The thickness of the blade results in a weightier knife, meaning it does much of the work for you to make meal preparation a breeze.
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.
