About the Shape - Santoku

The Santoku (三徳) is a versatile multi-use Japanese knife, famous for the translation of its name, ‘three virtues’.

About the Steel - Ginsan

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Ginsan (Silver #3) is a carbon steel and what makes it special is that it is stainless at the same time. Ginsan is easy to sharpen and has a hardness similar to the Shirogami steels, making it ideal for users who want an easy to maintain steel.

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.
