This is their 180mm nashiji ginsanko bunka. Ginsanko or Hitachi Silver#3 is our favorite stainless steel. It sharpens like a carbon and becomes scary sharp like a carbon; it's a joy to use. (Carbon steel has a reputation of being able to be sharpened very easily and has a higher peak sharpness compared to stainless; this is why veteran knife enthusiasts love carbon steel in general or carbon-like stainless steels like Ginsanko).
We have tested sharpening our demo knife and it's definitely one of the easiest stainless steel to sharpen. It can get scary sharp, too, even with just a quick session on a medium stone. This is on par with our reference knife, a Kagekiyo ginsanko santoku (Kagekiyo is one of the premium brands in Sakai).

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Japanese kitchen knives requires some attention. It's crucial to pay attention to the following points.
Correct use
• Always use the appropriate knife for the task.
• Refrain from moving the knife in a lateral direction while cutting. Use the thrust-cutting technique.
• Avoid bones and frozen food.
• Always use a wooden or rubbing cutting board. Avoid hard plastic, glass, or marble.
Washing-up
• Wash and dry the blade as soon as you're done with it especially carbon steel knives.
• Always wash your Japanese kitchen knife by hand. Never use a dishwasher.
Knife maintenance
• Use sharpening whetstones to sharpen or touch up your Japanese knife. In general, honing rods are not recommended as using these will cause damage to the edge. Honing rods are for western knives. Electric sharpeners and pull through sharpeners should never be used on Japanese kitchen knives.
