It takes its name from the translation of ‘ knife of three virtues,’ and lives up to it with multifunctional mastery. Add to this the warmth and elegance of the wooden handle and you'll easily be gliding through myriad meat cuts, fish, fruit and vegetables with equal finesse; it’s a keeper.

An alternative to the chef's knife. Great for cutting, chopping and mincing vegetables. The blade has a straighter edge than a chef's knife and has a blunted sheepsfoot-tip blade with a thinner spine. It can easily slice thin-boned and boneless meats, fish and vegetables.
