Shirogami #1 (Stainless Clad)
Forged from Shirogami/White Carbon Steel, this knife features a core enveloped in stainless steel for easy maintenance. While the stainless steel casing prevents patina formation, the exposed cutting edge of Shirogami carbon steel demands proper care.
Shirogami is renowned for its purity and fine grain structure, making it exceptionally easy to sharpen and achieving a razor-sharp edge.
After use, ensure thorough cleaning and drying. Over time, the blade develops a patina, adding character and protecting against rust.
Japanese knives are typically made from harder steel, sharpening to a finer edge and maintaining sharpness longer. However, they require careful handling to avoid chipping when cutting through tough materials.
