Traditionally, Japanese knives are made from forging two different types of carbon steels. They are called Jigane and Hagane. Jigane is soft supporting carbon steel that provides flexibility and ease of sharpening. Hagane is hard carbon steel that determines the quality of the blade. Currently, four different types of Hagane are available for our knives. They are SK, Yellow, White and Blue carbon steel.
