BigWood Boards 1.4116 CrMoV15 Steel Utility Knife with Curved Black Pakka Wood Handle, 5-Inch

The Tomoe 5 inch Utility knife presented by Chubbco is an everyday use blade, ready to be used for those quick jobs. Its small size allows for easy handling and control, while still having enough length to allow easy cutting. The 1L Tomoe knife is constructed from a solid piece of CrMoV15 steel. This means 15% is a combination of 14% to 14.5% of Chromium (Increases resistance to wear and corrosion), some Molybdenum (Increases strength, hardness and improves resistance to corrosion) and Vanadium (Increases strength, wear resistance and toughness). The steel on these blades is plenty tough and resists corrosion well. Each blade is ice hardened for sharpness and stain resistance and with a Rockwell hardness of 57 these blades will retain their edge with only occasional maintenance necessary. The blade is then sharpened "Hon-Togi" style, which means "Samurai Sharpening", a traditional sharpening method passed down through the generations that creates a truly sharp blade. With over 100 years of experience working with steel from Sanjo City, Japan, these techniques have been passed down through the generations culminating in the production of this knife. Balance and security is achieved by the full tang construction and triple riveted Black Pakka wood handles. The curved handle fits comfortably in the hand and allows for easy handling. Hand wash only with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Please do not machine wash. Each knife comes in its own magnetized gift box.
