About the Finish - Mirror

Mirror finish refers to a blade that has been polished to such a high degree that it reflects light, similar to a mirror. This type of finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the knife but also provides practical benefits. It reduces drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The mirror finish is achieved through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing, resulting in a blade with a smooth, shiny, and reflective surface.

About the Finish - Damascus

Damascus or "Modern Damascus" finish refers to the watery or wavy light and dark pattern of the metal. Suminagashi (墨流し) which literally translates to "floating ink" is another word used for the finish.
