Master Kuo Medium Taiwan Tuna Knife & Butchering Knife (G-4) is designed for cutting medium sized fish with bones, and is often used in the traditional markets as a butchering knife for separating the fat layers from meats. The blade can also be used to scrape the scales off the fish. This G4 is made with 3 layered laminated steel. The outer steel is stainless while the inner core steel is a traditional Japanese High Carbon SK5 steel, and has a RC hardness of 60-61. For Small Butchering Fish Knife, look for Master Kuo G3. Dimensions: Blade:190 x 75 x 3 mm / 7.5″ x 3″ x 0.12″ Handle Length: 100 mm / 4″ Overall Length: 285 mm / 11.25″ Weight: 285 g / 10 oz. Knife care: Keep clean with warm water and soap.

Most surface rust can be removed by sharpening the edge. Master Kuo knives are some of the sharpest factory sharp knives we’ve ever seen, but they are capable of even more after our professional sharpening services. We recommend the 2000 and 5000 Grit services for this knife. You can also add a custom made leather sheath. Master Kuo Family Kuo Chang-Shi is most famous for forging the original Green Sword of Destiny from the 2000 movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. His Damascus steel designs incorporate human bones and ashes to imbibe the spirit into the piece, as well as to add some elemental strength to the steel (such as manganese and phosphorus), which is based on historical accounts in ancient Chinese sword making.
