This is a food prep knife designed for users who value excellent sharpness and edge retention but do not want to worry about the rust that non-stainless steel presents.

This is a high-carbon stainless steel chef knife designed to cut produce and boneless meats.

Pros: Sharpness, edge retention, stain-free, ambidextrous handle, easy to keep sharp.

Cons: Fragile

The blades are clad SG2, a high-carbon stainless steel that stays sharp longer than most other steels. Hammered finish reduces food stickiness

The best sharpening tools for Japanese knives are leather strops and fine whetstones.

Japanese chef knives are brittle and the blades can chip if not handled carefully. High Carbon steel chef knives can rust and corrode if not dried promptly and kept dry.
