## Why we chose it

White #2 (Shirogami) is the most chemically pure blade steel Hitachi produces — minimal alloying means a reactive carbon edge with nothing undisclosed. Stainless cladding protects the body while keeping the carbon edge exposed for maximum sharpness. Nashiji finish is a forge texture, not a coating. Wenge handle with oak ferrule — both natural hardwoods, no resin stabilization.
