The oval cross-section sits naturally in a pinch grip, giving precise control over the edge angle. G3 Ginsan steel is made by Hitachi Metals - a stainless steel with the fine grain structure, edge formation, and sharpening feel of classic white carbon steel. The nashiji pear-skin finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat.
