This knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 Blue paper carbon steel. Provided with a layer of stainless steel for protection (Sanmai forged), this knife is single-sided sharpened so that this blade has an even finer cut. This knife was manually forged and sharpened in the small Baishinshi smithy (梅心子 國 光) in Sanjo.
