About Kigami Steel
Hitachi's Kigami is a high-carbon Japanese tool steel, similar in composition to their Shirogami (White) steel. It excels at taking fine edges, performs well with high-polished acute angles at high hardness, and is widely used in mid-range kitchen knives for reliable performance.
For the care and maintenance of Japanese knives, such as this Sakai Takayuki Kigami Yanagiba, please refer to our care guide below.
