With a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 62-63, the inner core of White Steel #2 is prized for its high edge retention and provides an extremely sharp edge that is able to maintain its sharpness over extended period of time. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding allows much of the blade to be more forgiving to exposure to moisture while still having the superior edge retention and sharpness intact.
The knife is complimented with a handcrafted Octagonal Rosewood handle which is comfortable for both left and right handed users. A Lacquered Magnolia wood Saya Cover comes together with the knife for easy and safe storage. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmers market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
