Hinokuni san is a relatively young blacksmith (around 30 years old) who learned blacksmithing from Nishida san. Now that he has mastered the forging sufficiently, he has started for himself. Thus, he wants to continue to improve his technique and incorporate his own preferences into the blades.
Shirogami #1 Carbon steel
This series is made from Shirogami #1 steel. This is the purest variant of carbon steel. The advantage of Shirogami is that it can be sharpened sharper than other types of steel. It is also easy to sharpen yourself.
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 carbon fiber so it will also discolor (patina layer). So make sure you maintain the knife well.
Cherry wood handle
The handle is made of cherry wood with a plastic head. This combination ensures that the handle requires little maintenance and does not make the knife too expensive.
The Hinokuni Shirogami Kurouchi knives are highly recommended for anyone who wants to cut with the sharpest steel and is not afraid of a little maintenance. The knife comes pretty sharp out of the box but becomes really razor sharp if you sharpen it yourself on stones.
