Ginsan (Silver 3) Steel

Ginsan (Silver #3, or Ginsan-ko) is a high-carbon stain-resistant steel. It feels and sharpens much like traditional White Steel, with a fine, keen edge that comes back quickly on a whetstone, but its chromium content protects it against rust. Many professional chefs see it as the best compromise between carbon steel and stainless.

This collection includes double-edged gyuto, santoku, nakiri, petty and kiritsuke, plus single-edged yanagi, usuba, mioroshi, kenmuki and maguro bocho, in nashiji, Hongasumi, Mizu Yaki and mirror-polished finishes.
