The Ginsanko is basically the stainless version of white 2 steel. Has a bit over 1% Carbon content, the steel gives great sharpness, edge retention and toughness. It is perfect for those looking to give Japanese traditional Yanagiba a try but fear about the relative high maintenance of carbon steel.
Maintenance:
- Hand wash and wipe dry, NO DISHWASHER
- Please use the knife as it should be, not frozed food, and not as screw driver
- Hand sharpen with waterstone, honing rod is not suitable for Japanese knives
