Shiro Kamo always delivers knives with the highest possible performance. The blades are thin and can easily be sharpened to a razor's edge. In this series, Shiro Kamo has used SG-2 stainless powder steel hardened to 62-63 HRC. Around the powder steel core are several layers of softer steel, giving each knife a unique and beautiful pattern (known as Damascus steel).

This is a knife made entirely by hand, boasting superb quality and classic Japanese design.

NOTE: This knife series has extremely thin edges made of very hard steel. They are therefore very sensitive to stress. Be extra careful when cutting so that the edge does not encounter too much resistance and get damaged.
