Authentic steel Japanese knives forged using traditional methods
Steel composite material: A strong blade made by combining steel with soft iron. It achieves the sharpness and ease of sharpening that are characteristic of steel.
Buffalo horn ferrule: A strong, durable and water-resistant material. Its ability to absorb water makes it difficult for the blade to come out.
Wet Hiramae Sharpening: A very fine whetstone is used to sharpen the blade delicately. By pouring water over the whetstone, the blade hardness can be prevented from dropping due to frictional heat.
