Park1538 Gwangyang Cultural Facility

Yin Mo Star Kui 4 Pieces Knife Set

Yin Mo Star Kui

Yin Mo Star Kui is a four piece Chinese knife set designed for home kitchens. Each blade is made of composite steel with a multilayer structure. A high carbon steel core keeps the edge sharp, while a low carbon steel surface layer resists corrosion. Hot forging at 1040 degrees Celsius and cold forging at minus 196 degrees Celsius improve strength and toughness. The forged surface is slightly rough, which reduces contact with sticky food. The handle has a concave grip area and balanced weight for comfort during long use. The black and silver finish carries a classic Taotie pattern.
