With a wider and taller stance, it allows a thinner and sharper edge than usual, all whilst maintaining a thick enough spine to be durable.\u003cbr\u003eThere is evidence of vintage quenching techniques on the blade, made from SK high carbon steel. This steel is somewhat similar to Kigami Yellow, simple to sharpen and retains its sharp edge longer. It is also easier to maintain than the pure carbon steels such as White or Blue steel. \u003cbr\u003eThe handle is made from rosewood, this was a popular choice for Gyuto produced around Tokyo of this time, and is available with brass or stainless steel handle pins.\u003cbr\u003eWe may never see this same shaped knife at this price in future, unless more new old stock is discovered. There is limited availability at Ai and Om knives, Pro Tooling Australia and Tosho Knife Arts also.\u003cp\u003e* Video was taken by Tosho Knife Arts using Masafune Vintage SK Komakiri Gyuto 230mm Rosewood Handle (Stainless Pin).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Article edited by Pro Tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3lJBKv2WAkc?rel=0\u0026amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand: Masafune  \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Seki-Gifu\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Komakiri Gyuto \u003cbr\u003eSize: 270mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Carbon Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Mono SK High Carbon \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Rosewood Western \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 412mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 278mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 282mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 75mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 2.2mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 130mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 315g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Ambidextrous\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masafune","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68049440801064,"sku":"rhv1793356546334","price":35.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1331\/0760\/files\/masafune-vintage-sk-komakiri-gyuto-270mm-rosewood-handle-brass-pin_1.jpg?v=1793356553","url":"https:\/\/www.kavolentra.com\/products\/masafune-vintage-sk-komakiri-gyuto-270mm-rosewood-handle-brass-pin","provider":"Kavolentra Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
