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.

A single-bevel knife is a traditional Japanese knife that has been used in Japan for a long time and is essential for chefs of Japanese cuisine. Since the blade is only on one side, it becomes sharp, allowing for quick cutting, and the cut surfaces are crisp, maximizing the flavor of the ingredients. It is easy to slice thinly, and the knife releases from the cut well. Maintenance time is reduced because only one side needs to be sharpened.
