It takes its name from the translation of ‘knife of three virtues,’ and lives up to it with multi-functional 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.
