Overview
Gripping a palm-shaped riveted handle, the cook controls a mid-size utility blade of Inox steel made in Sakai. The Inox Western-style series is hand sharpened before shipping.
Chromium and molybdenum in the steel add rust resistance, and hand sharpening means the edge is ready on arrival. The limitation is missing weight, hardness and warranty, plus a handle material listed only as steel.
Who it's for
Cooks who like a Western-style handle and a ready edge will find the shape familiar. Those who need a published weight, hardness figure or warranty should ask the seller first.

Performance notes
