Ginsan Japanese Silver No. 3 Knives

Ginsan steel is a very fine-grained knife material developed by Hitachi Metals. Its sharp edges and edge retention are similar to many high-carbon steels. Its composition is 1.05% carbon, 13% chromium, and 0.8% manganese. It has a hardness rating between 59 and 62 HRC.

This knife material is also known as silver steel no. 3. When Japanese chefs and serious home chefs choose stainless steel over high-carbon steel types for their knives, they often select Ginsan knives.
