The Kori Artisan 9" Carving Knife is perfect for slicing hams, roasts, and fish—even large vegetables! Use this long and narrow blade to get thin cuts of meat or utilize the fine and precise tip to pierce through tough roasted skins. Canadian designed Kori Artisan knives are handcrafted for beauty, function, and superior performance. Taking over 60 steps to complete each knife, Kori Artisan uses advanced materials and crafting techniques to ensure your knives last you years. Each blade features a Japanese VG10 core, surrounded by 36 layers of hammered steel to create that beautiful layered Damascus pattern. The final point of contact is the handle. Using a beautiful, riveted canvas linen micarta handle, the texture provides the ultimate tactile sensation and control. It is completed by a traditional mosaic pin and end cap.
