The blade is forged using the montanren technique. This means that the core steel and cladding are hand-welded together (ni mai). Before the steel is welded, the core steel is shaped into a wave pattern. This creates a very spectacular appearance reminiscent of waves on the ocean, and this process is performed only by the most distinguished blacksmiths from Sakai. The knives are true masterpieces that rank among the absolute top tier of single-bevel knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSingle-bevel (kataba)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe steel is \u003cspan\u003eAogami\u003c\/span\u003e#2, a hard carbon steel with excellent properties.
