It behaves like carbon steel when sharpening: it responds well to the whetstone and allows for a fine edge to be achieved with a reasonable number of passes. Edge retention is good. Unlike Aogami or Shirogami, it develops little to no patina, which simplifies daily maintenance while still requiring careful drying after use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use.
