Shirogami #1 is one of the purest carbon steels used in Japanese knife-making - capable of achieving an exceptionally fine edge that glides through proteins and vegetables with minimal resistance. The nashiji (pear skin) finish reduces drag and adds a subtle texture that hides light scratches over time. The lightweight WA handle keeps the balance point forward, giving you precise tip control for detailed work.

Care and Maintenance

• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust (carbon steel)
• Hone regularly with a ceramic or leather strop
• Sharpen on a whetstone when needed - professional sharpening recommended for best results
