The Kazoku Mayonaka is a carbon steel knife for the demanding chef who wants their knives razor-sharp. Carbon steel can be sharpened much more than stainless steel and is also easy to keep sharp. The core is protected by two layers of stainless steel, making the knife less prone to rust. The knife features a beautiful distal taper, meaning it starts thick and gradually becomes thinner. This makes the knife less fragile and allows for very precise cutting.
Unlike the Kazoku Kage, the Kazoku Mayonaka has a Western-style handle made of walnut wood. This handle provides excellent grip and control, suitable for both left- and right-handed use.
