The white steel #1 high carbon steel core, with an HRC of 64, provides an extremely sharp edge that is able to maintain its sharpness over extended period of time.

The stainless steel cladding allows much of the blade to be more forgiving to exposure of water while still having the superior edge retention and sharpness intact.

Care & Sharpening: Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones.
