- Fully handmade
Daisuke Nishida specializes in Shirogami #1 steel, a type of steel that is difficult to forge. What's special is that he still does the forging entirely through traditional methods. The hard core steel is protected by 2 layers of carbon steel joined using the Warikomi technique.
The handmade knives are beautifully finished and have a somewhat heavier weight. The knife is finished with a Japanese walnut wood handvan
Kurouchi Forging
The knife has a kurouchi finish (which is the dark forging layer). This protects the knife somewhat from rust although you should clean and dry the knife well after use. The whole knife is made of carbon and will also discolor (patina layer). So make sure you maintain the knife well.
