FAQs
Shirogami No. 2 steel is among the materials for making knives with the least impurities and ideal conditions for creating good knives. It is difficult to harden, and only a few blacksmiths can handle it. The steel results in knives that are sharp and easy to sharpen. The carbon content provides a perfect balance between flexibility and hardness. This balance is the secret ingredient that supports daily cooking. The sharpness is excellent, and resharpening is relatively easy, making it a favored material for many chefs in their knives.
Sharpness: Kurouchi knives, forged to have a denser steel structure, are exceptionally sharp. This is an effect of the forging process, meaning kurouchi is proof of forging.
Durability: Kurouchi knives have high hardness and resilience, making them extremely durable and long-lasting.
Unique Black Surface: Kurouchi retains an oxide film on the surface, giving it a distinct black appearance. This oxide film also has a rust-preventive effect.
*The oxide film acts as a protective layer that inhibits chemical reactions between the metal surface and air or liquids.
