The blade is crafted from Japanese Shirogami #1 (White Steel No. 1) carbon steel, clad in stainless steel. Known for its high purity, Shirogami #1 allows for an exceptionally sharp edge and is easy to resharpen using water stones. Please note that the cutting edge is susceptible to corrosion and requires proper care: the knife must be wiped completely dry after each use. A black finish gives the blade a striking appearance. The octagonal handle is made of walnut, while the composite bolster—featuring Makassar ebony accented by a hard maple ring—creates a sophisticated, contrasting blend of natural woods.
