This beautiful knife has a Blue II carbon steel edge surrounded by two layers of bead-blasted stainless steel. This san mai stainless steel shield, in a Narukami (meaning \"thunderbolt\" in Japanese) pattern helps prevent corrosion, hide scratches and prevent food from sticking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantages of the carbon core are remarkable. This Blue II carbon steel takes a very fine edge and holds it for hours of food prep. When it does need to be honed or sharpened, it is easily restored to a fine, razor-sharp edge. Carbon steel is the blade material preferred by professional chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking this Narukami knife even more practical (and beautiful) are its full tang construction and durable micarta handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe utility knife \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eis perfect for many small tasks that require precise cuts. It's versatile enough to peel an onion in-hand, and then slice it on a board. The very nimble 6\" Utility is between a chef's knife and a paring knife - featuring a narrow, straight blade with a slightly curved belly ideal for moderate rocking cuts. Sometimes called a sandwich knife, the utility knife works well on virtually everything between the bread of a sandwich - from thin-skinned vegetables to meats and cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARING FOR YOUR NARUKAMI KNIFE: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo maintain your Narukami knife, clean and dry the blade immediately after use. This will help prevent corrosion and rust. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOver time, the carbon steel core and edge will darken and develop a patina.
