Product description:

This high-quality Japanese knife combines extremely sharp Shirogami No. 2 steel with durable stainless steel thanks to the patented DP method. This is a so-called sandwich method, where the core is made of highly sharp carbon steel and the surrounding layers are made of stainless steel. Thanks to this construction, the knife is less susceptible to corrosion , which ensures greater hygiene and easier maintenance, without sacrificing the superior sharpness of the carbon steel.

The blade is hand-hardened by experienced craftsmen, as Shirogami steel requires precise temperature control and is not suitable for mass production . This makes the knife extremely sharp and easy to sharpen. The blade is also sharpened on a square whetstone , which guarantees excellent cutting properties.

The knife meets professional standards , making it suitable for professionals, but due to its easy maintenance, it is also suitable for home use. It is easy to maintain without rust and is also easy to sharpen.

Important notice:

• The carbon steel blade can rust - always dry thoroughly after use.
• The thinner blade is sensitive to hard ingredients - do not use it to chop bones or frozen foods.
• The knife is not suitable for the dishwasher or dish dryer .

If you are looking for a Japanese knife with excellent sharpness, easier maintenance, and authentic quality, this model is a great choice!
