The Classic Meat Fork has a long and very thin blade specially designed to prepare sashimi, sushi, sliced raw fish, and seafood. The blade is purposely angled from one side and flat on the other. This allows sharper and more precision cutting and slicing from one side of the blade. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56 - C58 degrees which hold the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.
