About Ginsan Steel (Ginsanko)
Ginsan steel (Ginsanko, Silver #3, 銀三鋼) is a high-grade Japanese stainless steel developed by Hitachi/Proterial to cut and sharpen more like traditional carbon steel while still resisting rust. It uses a very pure composition focused on iron, carbon and chromium, which gives it a fine grain structure, a crisp edge and easier sharpening compared with many other stainless steels.
Often described as a “stainless version of White steel,” Ginsan offers a balanced mix of sharpness, ease of maintenance and corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice among Japanese makers and chefs who want a classic carbon-steel feel with less worry about rust.
A Ginsan solid-steel blade is made entirely from Ginsan steel, rather than using a Ginsan cutting core clad with softer stainless steel. This monosteel construction provides a clean, seamless blade structure and allows the character of Ginsan steel to extend throughout the entire blade.
Saya Care
1. Avoid long-term storage inside the saya
Even if there is no visible moisture on the blade, keeping the knife inside a sealed saya for a long period can trap humidity and may cause rust. For long-term storage, please take the knife out of the saya and store it separately.2. If any problem occurs after purchase
Notes When Purchasing a Saya (Wooden Sheath)Avoid long-term storage in the saya
