Overview
Handle materials of wood, bamboo and steel and an overall length of 7.1 inches define the KAKURI 40943, a knife that weighs just 1.44 ounces.
The combination of a slim, mixed-material handle and a total weight of 1.44 ounces points to a knife sized for detail work rather than heavy general use. Amazon does not separate blade length or blade steel type from the 7.1 inch overall figure, so those two points are not confirmed.
