The Master Kuo G5 2XL Taiwan Tuna Knife is a pretty big fish knife. It’s designed for chopping the heads off of large fish and cutting the body into steaks. The curved shape allows the blade to zip along on long lateral cuts, too.
This knife is made with 3 layered laminated steel. The outer steel is stainless while the inner core steel is a traditional Japanese High Carbon SK5 steel, and has a RC hardness of 60-61.
Dimensions:
- Blade: 260 x 165 x 5.3 mm / 10.25 x 6/5 x 0.20″
- Handle Length: 100 mm / 4″
- Overall Length: 315mm / 12.4″
- Weight: 1,100 g / 38.8 oz. (1.1 kg / 2.4 lbs)
Knife care: Keep clean with warm water and soap. Towel dry immediately. Do not put into dishwasher. Stainless clad outer steel will not rust, but exposed SK5 core edge steel can show signs of surface rust over time. Most surface rust can be removed by sharpening the edge.
Master Kuo knives are some of the sharpest factory sharp knives we’ve ever seen, but they are capable of even more after our professional sharpening services. We recommend the 2000 and 5000 Grit services for this knife. You can also add a custom made leather sheath.

This knife is everything and more. I was using cheap fillet knives until I found these tuna knives. What a difference.
