This is a Sawakazma Western style series made out of VG-1 with DP method, DP stands for Decarburization Prevention. This high technology method prevents the metal from becoming soft due to the removal of carbon when being heated. It is slightly less hard than VG-10, and is easy to sharpen and is resistant to rust. The blade has a phenomenal Hamon patterning with simple shining finish. Not only functional, this knife can be displayed as artwork while not in use.
Please do not cut bone or frozen food. It may cause the knife to chip or other damaged. No dishwasher please.
This knife maker is Sawakazuma from Echizen city, Fukui which is located along the Sea of Japan. Echizen knives have a long history, dating back 700 years. While Japanese knives as a whole are typically designed with thinner blades than their European counterparts, the knives coming from Echizen take that a step further and are even narrower.
