It is probably the most universal knife of the common types after the chef's knife and can also replace a chef's knife in many ways. It is not quite as tall as a chef's knife and is also shorter, making it very easy to handle. It can be used to chop vegetables and cut smaller pieces of meat - and it is fantastic for trimming meat as well as finer cutting tasks in fruits and vegetables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 562px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 26.75px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 26.75px;\"\u003eBrand\/Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 26.75px;\"\u003eYu Kurosaki - Gekko\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 16px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 16px;\"\u003eBunka\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSmiting and Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e3 Layers VGXEOS and Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eGrinding\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e50\/50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003eJapanese handle in Oak\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStainless\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHardness\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e62\/63\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 134px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 134px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(May vary due to handmade)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 134px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 150mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 34mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 84g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth out of handle: 2mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe knife, like all other good Japanese knives, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eshould not be machine washed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, always wash your knives by hand.
