Aogami steel
This is one of the finest steels for knives. It stays sharp longer than other carbon steels and is less brittle. The hard core is protected by 2 layers of carbon steel.

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 so it will also discolor (patina layer). So make sure you maintain the knife well.

Handle made of walnut wood
The handle is made of walnut wood with a plastic head. This combination ensures that the handle requires little maintenance and does not make the knife too expensive.

The knives have a somewhat rougher finish, which is also why they are relatively inexpensive compared to other brands. The knife comes sharp out of the box but only gets really good after sharpening and polishing on a whetstone. Highly recommended for experienced sharpeners.
