Their family has been blacksmithing for pretty much 150 years. Ikeda-san continues to be a key player at Takefu knife village, and his level of experience and craftsmanship definitely shows in the fit and finish of these knives.

This is very similar to white paper steel but with tungsten and chromium added to it which helps with edge retention and slows down rusting. The super part indicates the highest amount of carbon steel - at up to 1.5% - out of the blue series steels. This has then been hardened to 63-64 rockwell making it very hard and capable of retaining an edge for a very long time. The blue steel core has then been wrapped in stainless steel making maintenance easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH: \u003ca style=\"color: black;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/kurouchi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKurouchi\u003c\/a\u003e. This is a traditional, rustic finish achieved by leaving the furnace scale from the forging process on the blade rather than polishing it off.
