[About White Steel (Shirogami)]

White steel (Shirogami) is a traditional Japanese high-carbon steel made with almost no alloying elements, focusing on very pure iron and carbon for a clean, simple composition.

This high purity gives White steel a very fine grain structure that can be sharpened to an extremely keen, precise edge with quick, satisfying feedback on the stones.

Because it contains no stainless additives, however, it is highly reactive to moisture and acids and must be wiped dry, making it a favorite of chefs and enthusiasts who value maximum sharpness and classic carbon-steel cutting feel over ease of maintenance.

[Notes after Purchasing a Saya (Sheath)]

1. Avoid long-term storage inside the saya

Even if the blade is completely dry, keeping it sealed inside the saya for a long time can trap moisture and cause rust.For long-term storage, please remove the knife from the saya.


2. Be careful not to scratch the blade when inserting it

To help minimize scratches, the opening on the inside of our saya is finished with a velvet lining.

However, scratches may still occur due to careless insertion or removal, so please keep this in mind when purchasing.

As this is considered a matter of normal use and handling, we may not be able to repair or compensate for scratches that occur during use.
