[What is Shirogami No.2?] Shirogami No.2 steel is one of the purest materials for blades, offering ideal conditions for making high-quality knives. It is difficult to harden and can only be handled by certain blacksmiths, resulting in a blade that is sharp and easy to sharpen. The carbon content balance provides an exquisite balance of flexibility and hardness, which is the hidden charm that supports daily cooking. Its sharpness is keen, and it is relatively easy to resharpen, which is why many chefs choose knives made from this material.
[Features of the Blacksmith Knife] Sharpness: The blacksmith knife has a very sharp blade due to the dense structure of the steel achieved through forging. This is an effect of the forging process, proving it is indeed forged. Durability: The blacksmith knife is extremely durable and long-lasting due to its high hardness and toughness. Unique Black Surface: The blacksmith finish leaves an oxidized film on the surface, giving it a unique black appearance. This oxidized film also serves to prevent rust. Note: The oxidized film acts as a protective layer that prevents chemical reactions between the metal surface and air or liquid.
