Product description
White 1 steel and picked up from a retailer in Japan (not JNS). As always the grind on Kato’s knives is immaculate.
Mr. Kato uses a special quenching technique, utilizing charcoal and water, which imparts an extra degree of hardness not often seen in regular clad knives. This gives all of his kitchen knives a feel very similar to Honyaki, incredibly stiff with little to no flex!
