Ginsan steel is a traditional stainless steel that has long been used in the world of Japanese knives. It is a steel that has earned the trust of chefs for its sharpness, which is essential for Japanese knives.
Hitachi Metals, which also produces Yasugi steels such as Shirogami and Aogami, created silver paper steel as a rust-resistant stainless steel. Ginsan steel is made by increasing the carbon content of this silver paper steel to improve its hardness.
As it is a steel that holds its edge well even among stainless steels, this knife is suitable for those who use it for extended periods.
