Shirogami 2/Stainless Clad:
The knife is forged from Shirogami/White Carbon Steel. The Shirogami core steel is cladded in Stainless steel, making it much easier to maintain. The Stainless cladding around the Shirogami Carbon core steel will not Patina. The exposed Shirogami carbon steel cutting edge will need to be maintained, washed and dried correctly.
Shirogami is one of the purest types of carbon steel you can get; it has minimal impurities and a very fine grain structure. As a result, Shirogami is, in our opinion, one of the easiest steels to sharpen, and you can sharpen Shirogami to a crazy sharpness level.
Make sure to wash and dry your knives properly after use. We like to use paper towels to dry our carbon steel knives as this absorbs the most moisture. Over time, the blade will develop a Patina. This oxidation will usually be grey to dark grey, protecting your knife from harmful Rust. The knife will slowly start building its character.
Most Japanese knives are made with a much harder steel than their Western counterparts. Harder steel can be sharpened much sharper and hold an edge for long periods. Never cut through bones, frozen foods, butternut stems, lemongrass, etc. This can result in a chipped blade. Hard steel is much more delicate than softer steel.

Santoku
Santoku Knife (三徳包丁 – pronounced: Santoku Bōchō) literally translated from Japanese means ‘Three Virtues’. Three Virtues refers to the three methods of using a knife namely slicing, dicing and chopping or the three types of fresh produce that is meat, fish and vegetables.
The Santoku’s multi-purpose and versatility nature leads it to be compared with a Western chef’s knife or the Gyuto. As the Three Virtues suggests it’s perfect for chopping, mincing and slicing the three main fresh produces. It excels easily through the fresh produce and creates thin slices of meat, seafood, cheese, fruits, and vegetables. The wide blade is handy for scooping food off the cutting board. The blade profile is well suited for up-and-down motion or using a tap-chop or a push-cut.
The Santoku thin blade is shorter than Western chef’s or Gyuto knives making it lighter, easier to handle and less strenuous for long periods of work. The flatter cutting edge is nearly straight from heel to tip. The Santoku is perfect for users with smaller hands and a bit more limited working space. The double-bevel, thin, sharp edge prioritises finesse instead of power.
Best for: Meat, Fish, Vegetables
