Stainless SG2 core with a nickel / stainless suminagashi cladding. Hand ground with a nice taper and convex hamaguri shaped blade face. The fine grind behind the edge makes for smooth cutting and the convex face with irregular surface makes for excellent food release.

SG2 stainlesss has a long edge life especially at very fine finishes that stainless steels don’t often excel at.

while SG2 is stainless if left wet or otherwise neglected, edge life will be effected and corrosion can form (think stains - less, not stain proof).

Linen micarta handles are are comfortable and have a slight texture to maintain grip during use. This is a step-up from you basic pakka handle.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.

Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
