Daido 1K6 stainless steel for lasting sharpness
Forged in Japan, the blade utilizes high-grade Daido 1K6 stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC for exceptional corrosion resistance and dependable edge retention. Its double-bevel Asian edge profile glides smoothly through fresh produce and boneless cuts with minimal cutting resistance.

A gently arched blade spine offers comfortable finger support during delicate rocking motions and detailed trimming work. To protect the refined edge and ensure long service life, maintain the knife with gentle hand washing and dry immediately after use.
