Soft stainless clad ginsanko stainless with nashiji (pear skin) finish with a wide beveled grind. This factory forged series is a good value, a relatively simple grind keeps them very affordable especially compared to the higher end ginsanko knives with more hand work in their forging and grinding. This treatment of ginsanko can be sharpened at a variety of finishes depending to the users taste but it does great in the 4-6K finish range from our tests.
