With a blade that is 455mm long by 45mm high by 5mm thick (or 18″ long by 1.75″ high by 0.25″ thick), it is designed for further sectioning large pieces of fish, or smaller fish that the Tuna Sword might be just a little overkill for. These double beveled blades are custom made to order using bombshell steel, feature an octagonal 160mm, or 6.25″ Mori Oak hardwood handle, and a custom made pine saya. Production time is generally 8 weeks, but we do try to keep them in stock. Yong Shin custom forged Tuna swords have been featured along side with his Taiwan Tuna Knives on YouTube as the “world’s sharpest Taiwan tuna knife“.
