This medium-large all purpose kitchen knife does it all and could be used to work through the preparation of an entire recipe from chopping garlic to slicing a tough root vegetable.

Every Master Shin knife is a piece of Korean history. Established in 1845, the Shin Blacksmith is the oldest in Korea. 5th-generation Master Shin In-Young – who earned his title at just 17 years old – is the only smith still practicing traditional Korean blacksmithing methods. In 2016, he was named Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasure #60 by Gyeonggi Province, and has stamped that number into each blade ever since.

Master Shin’s strong and sturdy blades are forged from manganese-rich railroad tracks, and the signature “X” banded handles are crafted from chestnut that’s shade-dried for years to increase its strength and rot resistance. Notably absent from the blades is a bevel – all Master Shin’s knives are hammered to a thin edge that remains razor sharp for years. Ideal for chopping and other prep work, the heft and size of this Large Chef’s Knife does much of the work for you.
