─── Core Steel ▪️ Chromax ───
▸ A new-generation semi-stainless steel developed by Takefu Special Steel in Japan
▸ Based on high-carbon steel, with approx. 5% chromium added to enhance performance
▸ Hardness can reach HRC 64–65 after heat treatment, balancing extreme sharpness and durability
▸ Better corrosion resistance than standard carbon steel, making daily maintenance more convenient
▸ Balances top-tier cutting performance (kireaji) with rust resistance, though rust spots may still form if not maintained properly
─── Craftsman Spirit ▪️ Takayuki Shibata ───
▸ Renowned for ultra-thin blade geometry and laser-like edge grinds, providing minimal cutting resistance
▸ As a master sharpener himself, the spine and choil are smoothly chamfered and rounded/polished for comfort
▸ Fully hand-sharpened with limited production, resulting in long-term global supply shortages
─── Knife Type Introduction ▪️ Wa-Gyuto ───
▸ The Wa-Gyuto originated in Japan as a professional chef's knife, designed for handling beef and meats
▸ Features a longer and exceptionally sharp blade, enabling smooth and precise slicing
▸ Ideal for cutting meats into uniform, clean, and complete thin slices
▸ Minimizes cell damage to meat fibers, preserving the texture and visual presentation of the cut

☆【 Maintenance & Care Instructions 】
Although stainless/semi-stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance, it may still rust under humid conditions, high salinity, or when surface damage occurs. It is recommended to keep the blade dry and perform regular cleaning and maintenance.
☆【 Professional After-Sales Service 】
We provide professional kitchen knife sharpening services in-store to ensure your knife always stays in peak condition.
⚠️ Avoid Extremely Hard Objects ⚠️
Strictly avoid chopping frozen food or hard bones to prevent blade structural damage, chipping, or cracking.
⚠️ No Dishwasher or Dryer ⚠️
Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer. High temperatures and harsh detergents will damage the knife blade and handle material.
⚠️ Standard Cleaning Procedure ⚠️
After use, please hand-wash with warm water, dry thoroughly immediately with a dry cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
❁【 Return & Exchange Policy Regarding Manufacturing Marks 】
All high-end kitchen knives sold in our shop are 100% genuine and original. Since the crafting process involves hand-sharpening, edge finishing, and saya fitting tests, minor surface micro-scratches are a "normal state directly from the workshop/factory" and not quality defects. We inspect each knife strictly before shipping. Perfectionists, please consider carefully before placing an order.
❁【 Warm Reminder 】
All product images are taken from actual items. However, slight color variations between photos and real products may occur due to photography lighting, angles, or different display settings across various devices/monitors. Buyers who are extremely sensitive to color variations, please consider carefully before ordering. Product colors are subject to the actual item received.
