Light and blade-forward in balance, it lets the edge carry the work rather than the hand. Magnolia is a pale, fine-grained wood common on Sakai knives, valued for its neutrality and low weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNakagawa is one of the few Sakai smiths who works regularly with \u003cstrong\u003eGinsan (Silver Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e, a stainless steel with high chromium content (13 to 14.5%) that resists corrosion without giving up edge refinement. Hand-forged using traditional Sakai methods, Ginsan responds to sharpening on whetstones with a reactivity closer to carbon steel than most stainless alloys. The edge reaches a very fine bevel and holds well between sharpenings. No patina forms: the blade stays bright after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use. Do not put in the dishwasher.
