Master Shin's Anvil #57 is a large, non-serrated bread knife that offers an effortless cutting experience for both soft and crusty bread. Unlike serrated bread knives that tear through the bread, this non-serrated knife glides smoothly, relying solely on its sharpness to make clean and even cuts. Master Shin, a skilled craftsman, designs over 300 different types of knives and farm tools. He repurposes carbon steel from railroad tracks, which is rich in manganese and can withstand high temperatures. This steel is hard, wear-resistant, and perfect for cutting. The knife's handle is crafted from chestnut or oak wood, dried in the shade for years. This process makes the handle lightweight, strong, and resistant to rot. During production, the steel is hammered a thousand times to create a thin and sharp edge that stays sharp longer than inferior knives. Unlike Japanese and Western knives, Master Shin's knives don't have an angular beveled edge - a unique feature that requires extra hammering.

Using your Master Shin's Anvil #57 non-serrated bread knife is a breeze. Just hold the handle firmly and let the sharp blade do the work. Gently apply pressure as you slice through soft or crusty bread, and you'll notice how smoothly it cuts. For best results, use a gentle sawing motion. When it comes to maintenance, hand-wash the knife with mild soap and warm water after each use. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher as the harsh chemicals and high heat can damage the blade and handle. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep it safe and prevent the blade from getting dull. If the blade becomes dull over time, you can use a sharpening stone to restore its sharpness. Remember, this knife is a high-quality tool, so handle it with care. And if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days.
