The trade-off is reactivity: carbon steel will patina and can rust if not dried promptly, but for cooks who understand and embrace that, the cutting performance is in a class of its own.

At 63-64 HRC it is significantly harder than VG10 or ZA18. The kurouchi finish is the raw blacksmith's finish left on the blade after forging - darker, more rustic, and more characterful than a polished blade. It provides a degree of natural protection to the reactive carbon steel and develops a unique patina with use. Combined with the tsuchime hammered texture, it reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. The red pakkawood handle is the standout detail - bold and distinctive. The trade-off for this performance is reactivity - wipe dry after every use and a natural patina will develop that protects the steel.
