Master Grade 5132 I.O. Shen 5-Inch Utility Knife

The Master Grade 5132 I.O. Shen is a 5-inch (125mm) utility knife engineered for professional kitchens that demand performance at every prep station. Built on Triplex Steel Technology, a core of super-hard HRC 62 steel is sandwiched between two layers of softer stainless steel, delivering a razor-sharp edge that resists brittleness and retains its keenness far longer than conventional blades. Each knife is hand-sharpened by master craftsmen to a precise 15-degree edge angle and individually hand-finished over an average of 7 hours. The distinctive ebonite handle, designed around Yin Yang philosophy, integrates a full Tai Tang construction for exceptional balance, stability, and heat resistance. Ideal for carving, slicing, boning, filleting, and handling small fruits and vegetables, this is a versatile workhorse that bridges the gap between a paring knife and a full-size slicer.
