At its core is Chromax Steel, a material that offers the sharpness of carbon steel with added rust resistance. As it ages, the blade naturally develops a unique patina, letting you enjoy the evolving character of your knife over time. Finished with a smooth, easy-to-sharpen “clam shell edge,” and reinforced with soft stainless steel on both sides, it’s designed for long-lasting performance and simple upkeep. This knife brings together the refined beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the practicality needed for daily use.
