The steel is hammered thinner than your average knife, which lets it fly through dense veggies with ease. Shirogami, or ‘white carbon’ in English, is a very traditional steel prized by blacksmiths and knife nerds alike for its great edge retention and legendary sharpness. Yuki knives are clad in softer stainless steel, so only the very edge has to be kept dry to prevent rust. This line is one of our most popular and a frequent gateway into the world of hand-hammered knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name Yuki (meaning ‘snow’ in Japanese) comes from the frosty looking ‘nashiji,’ or ‘pear skin,’ finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoshimi Kato is the son-in-law and successor of Hiroshi Kato, one of the founders of Takefu Knife Village.
