The 170 mm blade carries the tall profile typical of the santoku, with a rounded tip suited to push-cut work and a generous working surface with good knuckle clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSLD\u003c\/strong\u003e is a JIS G 4404 alloy tool steel, with approximately 1% carbon and 5% chromium, supplemented by molybdenum and vanadium. That chromium level falls short of full stainless territory, placing SKD in the semi-stainless category: more corrosion-resistant than pure carbon steel, but not a conventional stainless. The sanmai construction protects the hardness of the SLD core along the cutting edge, while the stainless steel cladding protects the sides of the blade. When sharpening, SLD responds to the whetstone in a manner similar to carbon steel, with the edge becoming noticeably sharper after just a few strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use.
