The Master Kuo XL Taiwan Tuna Knife – Big Fish Knife (G5-XL)Â is designed for cutting the heads off of big fish and for cutting the body into steaks. It is used by pushing the heel of the blade into the fish and then rolling the blade forward to finish the cut, or zipping through long lateral cuts.
This knife is made with 3 layered laminated steel. The outer steel is stainless while the inner core steel is a traditional Japanese High Carbon SK5 steel, and has a RC hardness of 60-61. It has been sharpened via our 5 step process to “Jende Factory Sharp”, which is our standard for factory sharp, and a whole lot better than your typical out of the box sharpness. You can add further sharpening services as well. Protect the blade with an optional custom leather sheath that has our Tuna Knife logo lasered on it. We can also laser a customized logo or name on the sheath.
The Master Kuo G5 L, Master Kuo G5 2XL and Master Kuo G5 3XL are bigger Knives available in the same series.

Care Instructions:
To maintain its performance, clean the knife with warm water and soap, towel drying immediately. Avoid dishwashers, as the stainless-clad outer steel resists rust, but the exposed SK5 core edge steel may develop surface rust over time. Most surface rust can be removed by sharpening the edge. While Master Kuo knives are exceptionally sharp, our professional sharpening services can enhance their performance further. We recommend the 2000 and 5000 Grit services, and you also have the option to add a custom-made leather sheath.
