Shiro-Ni-Koh steel refers to the material of the steel called white paper No.2.
It is the second hardest material after Japanese steel.
The harder the material, the longer it will stay sharp.
There is also a material called Aogami which is harder than Shirogami, but Shirogami is easier to handle when considering maintenance using a whetstone.
In addition, the material is loved by professional chefs, so you can use it with confidence.
Since it is made of steel, it is prone to rust, but you can prevent rust by removing moisture after use.
The handle is made of wood called Ichiichi.
It is strong and has an octagonal shape, making it easy to hold.
