The Far North of Knives This is a kitchen knife, not a kitchen knife. This knife is manufactured and finished by knife craftsmen in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, one of the three major production areas for cutlery, using Hitachi Yasugi Steel Blue Paper No. 2 (HRC62) developed by Hitachi Metals, Ltd., which is the katana. Katana Katana Series As the name ``Katana'' suggests, the blade is not overly laminated or decorated, and the contrast between the core and side materials of the blade creates a dazzling shine. Depending on the angle you look at it, you'll be able to see the bewitching quality of steel, which is different from stainless steel.Of course, a knife doesn't just have to be hard; it has to be balanced. We understand that too. However, since it was necessary to use the best and most innovative materials for the Katana, we do not recommend sharpening it with a simple sharpener. Please use a whetstone to clean it yourself. You can get a great sharpness by adjusting the blade angle that is best for you.This katana is a rare knife that is designed to be maintained with a whetstone. The katana comes in a black foil-stamped paulownia box and is a knife that is meant to be sharpened and maintained. Not only for storage purposes, but occasionally I open it and look at the blade. It is the satisfaction of owning a katana.Finally, a sword that cannot be cut is not a sword. *About Aogami No. 2 Steel* In ancient times, Shimane Prefecture used a manufacturing method called ``Tatara'' using high-quality iron sand as raw material. It was a place where iron manufacturing was popular. Hitachi Metals' Yasugi Factory in Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture has inherited this tradition of Japanese steel. The high-grade special steel made there is ``YSS Yasuki Steel.'' Aogami No. 2 steel, a type of YSS Yasuki steel, is stronger than Shirogami steel because it contains compounds of chromium (involved in toughness and hardenability), tungsten (involved in wear resistance), and carbon. It has high hardness and tenacity. In addition, the numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent the carbon content of the steel, and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the steel *Note* The core material of this product is steel. Therefore, it will rust. After use, please remove dirt and completely wipe off moisture as soon as possible
