Their strong ties to the sea and the cuisine they developed from it prove the need for dependable tools that can withstand the rigors of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ikasaki is a squid butchery knife. Small, but quite robust with an \"s\" wide bevel grind, it is a decently tough little knife. In the case of the Ainu people in the Peninsula, these ikasaki were used in home kitchens and not strictly limited to processing squid. They would be used for general food prep; squid, fish, and vegetables were cut equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shinbu ikasaki has an irridescent kurouchi finish on the stainless cladding and a robust core of blue #2. The handle is made of keyaki, a wood traditionally used in Japanese architecture for temples, shrines, and fine furniture because of its durability and ability to withstand the elements. When finished, it takes on a brilliant luster that highlights its striking figure, making it as visually captivating as it is reliable. The top is finished with a pakkawood ferrule. This knife comes with a rust eraser for maintaining the oxidation on the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ikasaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue #2 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Keyaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.25mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.66mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 107g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fukube Kaji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42387351863357,"sku":"GMAGSHINBUIKASAKI120B2","price":355.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A0628.jpg?v=1749231372","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/gesshin-magomitsu-120mm-blue-2-kurouchi-ikasaki-copy","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
