Its pure carbon composition, free of chromium and tungsten, allows it to be sharpened to a very fine edge and responds quickly on the stone. The trade-off: it is reactive to moisture and acids, and a patina develops quickly, which is normal and expected. The Shirogami #2 core is clad on both sides with wrought iron, a construction that concentrates hardness at the edge while allowing some flexibility through the body. The kurouchi finish on the spine and upper flanks should be preserved: avoid abrasives on that area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the blade immediately after use, especially after contact with acidic ingredients.
