Shiro Kamo consistently delivers knives with the highest possible performance. The blades are thin and can be easily sharpened to a razor-sharp edge. In this series, Shiro Kamo has used SG-2 stainless powdered steel, hardened to 62-63 HRC. Surrounding the powdered steel core are multiple layers of softer steel, creating a unique and beautiful damascus pattern on each knife. This knife is entirely handmade, of the finest quality, and features a classic Japanese design.
Note: This knife series has extremely thin edges made from very hard steel, making them sensitive to stress. Be extra careful when cutting to avoid excessive resistance that may damage the edge.
