"Gin-san steel" is a traditional stainless steel that has been widely used in the world of Japanese knives for a long time, and it is a steel material trusted by chefs even in Japanese knives that require sharpness. Hitachi Metals, which manufactures Yasugi steel such as White Steel and Blue Steel, created Silver Paper Steel as a rust-resistant stainless steel, and Gin-san steel is made by increasing the carbon content and increasing the hardness. It is a steel material that holds its edge for a long time even among stainless steels, so it is a knife suitable for those who use it for extended periods.
