With that kind of know-how, you can rely on Sukenari for the highest quality heat treatment when it comes to Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless carbon steel, one that is unmatched by other makers using the same steel. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWith Ginsan steel, you get similar hardness and some of the characteristics of Shirogami #2, but with stainless \/ rust resistance properties, making this knife much easier to maintain.

Established in 1933 by Fijikichi Hanaki, Sukenari became famous in Japan for its Honyaki forged knives, one of the hardest forging techniques. Now in the hands of 3rd generation Hanaki - Mr. Nobuo Hanaki, Sukenari is continually pushing the envelope of chef knives while committed to the finest tradition of Japanese knife making. Today Sukenari is known for its work with various super steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGinsan\u003c\/strong\u003e (Gin3 or Silver #3) is stainless carbon steel, with 14% added Chromium. Retaining the character of Japanese carbon steel, with a similar hardness of Shirogami #2, Ginsan is stainless. Its edge retention is only slightly inferior to Shirogami #2, but the fact that it combines ease of sharpening, carbon steel character as well being stainless makes it a great choice for those who wish to have a Japanese carbon steel knife that is easy to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong the knife’s edge.
