White #1, also known as Shirogami #1, is a reactive carbon steel prized for its ability to take a very fine edge. Water-quenching this steel demands precise control during heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sanbonsugi hamon follows a repeating three-peak pattern, often described as “three cedars.” The mirror finish with Nami-ukashi, as specified by the supplier, complements this distinctive hardening line. The supplier identifies Yamatsuka-san as the sharpener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlacksmith: Kenji Togashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpener: Yamatsuka-san, as identified by the supplier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife type: Sakimaru Yanagiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: White #1 \/ Shirogami #1 carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Mizu Honyaki, water quenched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHamon: Sanbonsugi \/ three-cedar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Mirror finish with Nami-ukashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 300 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length, including handle: 456 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade height at heel: 33 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine thickness at heel: 3.9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine thickness at midpoint: 3.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine thickness near tip: 1.1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge and handedness: Single bevel, right-handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife weight: 257 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaya: Black lacquered magnolia, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions and weight are supplied for this individual knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite #1 is not stainless. It will develop a patina and can rust if left wet. Wipe the blade during use, especially after acidic ingredients. Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately and completely. Never soak it or put it in a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a suitable wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. Avoid bones, frozen food, hard pits, twisting, prying and scraping with the cutting edge. Use smooth slicing strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore only when both blade and saya are dry. For extended storage, apply a very thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to the clean, dry blade. Keep the handle and lacquered saya away from prolonged moisture and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharpen on appropriate waterstones, preserving the original geometry. Avoid pull-through sharpeners, powered sharpeners and honing steels. Specialist sharpening is recommended for this honyaki blade. Abrasive cleaning or casual polishing can scratch the mirror finish and alter the hamon’s appearance; contact us for advice before refinishing. Store with the edge protected and away from children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered by Tokushu Knife Malta for eligible destinations outside Malta.
