This geometry concentrates the hard steel at the edge while the cladding supports the blade behind the bevel. The wa-handle in olive wood, with its tight grain and warm tones ranging from golden to brown, completes a compact knife built around precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKD-11\u003c\/strong\u003e (SLD Steel) is a semi-stainless tool steel developed by Hitachi Metals and adapted for cutlery by the forges of Sanjo. Its elevated chromium content provides better corrosion resistance than pure carbon steel, without reaching the behavior of a standard stainless. On the stone, it sharpens in a manner close to carbon steel: the edge builds steadily with consistent passes on water stones. It develops little to no patina under normal use conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use. Never put in the dishwasher.
