Master Shin makes roughly 300+ different designs of knives and farm tools. He uses railroad track, repurposing the carbon steel which is rich in manganese and can be heated to a very high temperature. This steel is hardened, wear-resistant, and good for cutting. The handles are made of chestnut, slowly dried in sunlight for years so it is lightweight, strong, and rot-resistant
- Multi-use kitchen knife designed by Master Shin-in Young
- With knife production, the steel is hammered a thousand times to reach the thin and sharp edge, which keeps sharp longer than inferior knives
- Master Shin’s knives do not have the angular beveled edge seen in Japanese and Western knives
- Made in South Korea
