It is difficult to produce and can only be handled by a handful of highly skilled blacksmiths, but in exchange for this, the blade is made of White no.1 steel, which boasts supreme sharpness.
The blade is forged and hardened by Sakai traditional craftsman Yoshikazu Tanaka and carved by blade sharpener Tadataka Maruyama.
The "Junpaku" series is made of white steel with a soft stainless steel core, which not only gives it a sharp cutting edge, but is also easy to maintain. Equipped with a traditional buffalo horn and magnolia octagonal handle, this model embodies the essence of a Japanese-style double-edged knife.
