The blade is forged from Shirogami #1 (White Steel #1) carbon steel with iron cladding (*iron-clad* construction). This steel is highly regarded by enthusiasts of traditional Japanese cutlery for its ability to take an exceptionally sharp edge and its ease of sharpening. The *kasumi* finish creates a characteristic matte surface, offering a subtle contrast between the core steel and the cladding. The handle is crafted from quince burl, accented by a ferrule (bolster) made of white buffalo horn. Please note that the blade is not stainless and requires proper maintenance: after use, the knife should be washed, wiped completely dry, and never left damp.

The blade is forged from Damascus steel with a core of VG-10—a popular Japanese stainless steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt. It is prized for its excellent hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and ability to retain a sharp edge for a long time. The multi-layered Damascus construction creates a distinctive pattern on the blade’s surface, while the black "Kokuryu" finish gives it a striking dark hue and added texture. The handle is crafted from black Pakkawood—a composite material made of wood layers impregnated with resin. It is moisture-resistant, highly durable, and well-suited for kitchen knives.
This knife is designed primarily for processing vegetables and other soft food items. It should not be used for chopping bones, cutting frozen foods, or handling other hard materials. The knife is not dishwasher safe; for proper maintenance, it should be washed by hand and wiped completely dry.

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.

The core of the blade is forged from Japanese Aogami #2 (Blue Steel No. 2) carbon steel, laminated between layers of stainless steel. Aogami #2 contains tungsten and chromium, which enhance wear resistance and help the blade retain its sharpness for longer. This steel is easy to sharpen on water stones, allowing for the creation of a fine, aggressive cutting edge. While the stainless steel cladding protects the sides of the blade from corrosion and simplifies maintenance, the Aogami #2 cutting edge remains susceptible to rust; therefore, the knife must be washed and wiped completely dry after every use.
