The Master Kuo G-5 Large Taiwan Tuna Knife is designed to cut the heads off of large fish, slice the fish from end to end, and to cut the body into steaks. The curved leaf shape is really handy for butchering large fish like Tuna, Mahi, and Grouper.
This Taiwan Tuna Knife G5 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.
The Master Kuo G5 XL, Master Kuo G5 2XL and Master Kuo G5 3XL are bigger Knives available in the same series.
Key Dimensions:
- Blade: 200 x 120 x 4.5mm / 8″ x 4.75″ x 0.18″
- Handle Length: 100mm / 4″
- Overall Length: 305mm / 12″
- Weight: 525 g / 18.5 oz
Maintenance Instructions:
To ensure longevity, clean the knife with warm water and soap, towel drying promptly. Avoid using a dishwasher. While the stainless-clad outer steel resists rust, the exposed SK5 core edge steel may develop surface rust over time. Routine sharpening can effectively remove most surface rust.
Master Kuo knives are some of the sharpest factory sharp knives we’ve ever seen, but they are capable of even more after our professional sharpening services. We recommend the 2000 and 5000 Grit services for this knife. You can also add a custom made leather sheath.
