Master Shin's Anvil - Large Chef's Knife

Unlike the common V-shaped grind found on most Western knives, this traditional Korean bevel is designed for superior precision and smoother slicing. It reduces friction as the blade passes through ingredients, allowing for cleaner cuts with less resistance.

This knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the chestnut handle and the hand-hammered finish, always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use to prevent corrosion.

Yes, the handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, natural grip that minimizes hand fatigue. The wood also offers a warm, tactile feel that becomes more comfortable the more you use it.

Because of the unique bevel, it is best to use a whetstone rather than a pull-through sharpener to maintain the blade's specific geometry. Consistent use of a honing rod will help keep the edge sharp between deeper sharpening sessions.

While the blade is exceptionally durable and excellent for chopping large vegetables and meats, it is a chef's knife rather than a heavy-duty cleaver. It is best used for slicing, dicing, and chopping rather than hacking through dense bone.
