The handle is a Japanese-made mono bubinga wa handle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Label series blends Western and Japanese materials, techniques, and sensibilities to make a fine cutting knife with good edge retention and easy sharpenability. Our intention was to make a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehigh-performing, not-too-expensive forged knife with a little more weight and a steeper distal taper than our stock removal Greenfield series for those who like a more forward feel and thicker spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOriginally from the Bay Area, Nick’s blade shapes and styles draw on his years as a fine-dining line cook before spending time in NYC as a bartender after earning a degree in Sustainable Agriculture from UCSC. After a weekend knifemaking class in 2016, Nick began making knives for friends, and the eventual demand led to returning to the Bay Area in 2022 to make knives full time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick forges in the geometry, heat-treats, and provides a rough grind that Josh follows up with additional thinning and surface finishing at a utilitarian 'migaki' finish with a medium-fine scratch pattern on the face that allows for good food release and easy future thinning and re-surfacing without adding the additional expense that an extra fine finish makes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider the general rules for using a Japanese knife: boneless proteins, vegetables, and most fruits (some fruits don't play as nicely with carbon steel; I’m looking at you, mango). Avoid bones, frozen food, twisting on the board during cutting, and general dumb stuff. No dishwasher use. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernal Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48533810282717,"sku":"BLKLBL-ROLIN#6","price":591.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3339\/7144\/files\/DSC05782_9e7596c9-2d46-4d46-bb06-6a03c5b20853.jpg?v=1789074456","url":"https:\/\/bernalcutlery.com\/en-au\/products\/6-bernal-cutlery-x-rolin-knives-third-run-black-label-mm-wa-gyuto-52100-bubinga-handle","provider":"Bernal Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
