There are a few things that separate good knives from average knives: steel quality, edge grinds, comfortable handles, good fit and finish, and nice packaging all contribute to making a knife that rises to the top. This line hits the mark. The steel used is Ginsan stainless, which is high quality stainless steel, and the finish is called nashiji (translates to pear skin ). You can see from the photos this knife is a stunner. The details are all looked after too. Our friend Akane, who you see pictured, hand engraved each knife and she also did the beautiful calligraphy for the Yahiko logo on the box. All in all we're thrilled with these knives!
