Its curved profile suits both rocking and push-cut techniques, and the 210 mm length keeps the knife agile whether on a compact counter or through longer prep sessions. Keep the blade flat at the board to protect the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sanmai\u0026nbsp;construction pairs a \u003cstrong\u003eShirogami #2 (White Steel #2)\u003c\/strong\u003e core with a jigane cladding finished in nashiji. This surface treatment leaves the jigane with a lightly granular texture, reminiscent of Asian pear skin, contrasting with the polished edge bevel. The wa-handle in tagayasan, a dense hardwood with tight grain, is fitted in an octagonal section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShirogami #2 (White Steel #2)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pure carbon steel produced by Hitachi Metals under the Yasugi designation, with no chromium or tungsten in its composition. Its carbon content (1.05,1.15%) allows the steel to respond quickly on a whetstone and reach a very fine edge. A patina develops early in use, which is normal and expected. Because Shirogami #2 is reactive to moisture and acids, wiping the blade dry immediately after each use is essential. Regular sharpening on water stones keeps the edge performing consistently over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe and dry the blade immediately after use.
