About the Steel - Shirogami #1

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Shirogami (White) Steel No. 1 is a very popular steel among Japanese knife makers. The steel has a slightly more carbon than the more common Shirogami #2 which makes it a bit harder. Special care must be taken as knives made with this steel is prone to rust.

About the Finish - Nashiji

Nashiji (梨子地) literally translates to pear-fruit-skin as the finish imitates the skin of an Asian pear. This finish is created by polishing away the dark oxides while retaining the rough texture. Some may say Nashiji is in the middle between Kurouchi and Migaki.
