Japanese hand-made professional cutlery carbon, sword steel blades. These knives are hand-made by a small, well established (1917) factory for their professional customers. The steel is Yasugi Shiro-ko, a high carbon, steel preferred for daily use because it is easily re-sharpened to a very fine edge. This is laminated during forging to a "mild" (more rigid) steel for strength, then polished and sharpened. As with all carbon steel knives, this will rust if not treated properly. The handles are made from "Ho" or Ichii wood. Varieties unique to Japan which are light and very water resistant. The ferrules are buffalo horn.
