Steel Material
Forged from Yasugi white steel (Shirko#2) that is a standard for ferrite steel and cutlery steel, this knife is easy to sharpen and great for sashimi (also known as Syobu or Yanagi-ba knife).White steel is a type of high purity steel from which impurities have been removed. A highly-skilled craftsman takes more time and effort to forge and quench as compared to conventional white steel, resulting in a dramatically improved cutting performance.
Handle
Wood of the deciduous tall Magnoliaceae tree that is grown in forests around Japan is used to craft the handle.Being light and soft, this type of wood can be processed very easily. Besides being used to produce knife handles and sheath, Magnoliaceae wood is also widely used as a material for sculpture, lacquerware, furniture, musical instrument and more.
