Japanese Cutlery Shows Its True Value Through Sharpening

Japanese knives are crafted from high-quality, high-carbon steel using advanced forging and hardening techniques. However, that alone is not enough to make a truly great knife.
It is only when a skilled sharpener carefully hones the blade in the final manufacturing process that it achieves its exceptional sharpness.

Conversely, the true potential of an excellent steel knife is only realized through proper sharpening.
In other words, high-quality steel, precise craftsmanship, and expert sharpening—these three elements define the essence of Japanese cutlery.
