This Japanese chef's knife holds an edge longer than most carbon steels. Stainless cladding makes maintenance easier. Only the exposed core steel will develop patina over time. The spine is nicely rounded and polished. It is lightweight and nimble, suited to everyday cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Echizen, Japan by Yoshimi Kato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e213mm (8.4\") cutting edge, heel to tip, 46mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAogami Super carbon steel core (~64 HRC) with stainless steel cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNashiji finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOval rosewood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor left- and right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYoshimi Kato\u003c\/strong\u003e is the third-generation blacksmith at Kato Knife Manufacturing in Takefu, Echizen, a region with 700 years of knife-forging history.
