Its Silver #3 stainless core takes a very keen edge, is straightforward to sharpen and is considerably easier to maintain than traditional carbon steel. This makes it an excellent first Japanese knife, while the thin, refined grind gives it the cutting performance experienced users expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hammered \u003cem\u003etsuchime\u003c\/em\u003e texture sits above layered Damascus cladding.
