Hinokuni Shirogami #1 Gyuto Knife, Cherry Wood handle

The young blacksmith Hinokuni san is only 31 years old, from Kumamoto prefecture, and recently became independent after apprenticing for Nishida san. The steel he uses is Shirogami #1.

Shirogami (White) #1 is a very pure carbon steel alloy, almost identical to Blue #1 steel except for the absence of chromium and tungsten. Also known as Shiro-ko, this is a very popular steel for high-end Japanese cutlery. These knives take an extremely fine edge and are easy to sharpen. It is very reactive - wiping down and drying should be done after every use.
