Made in Japan
The KC-950 series knives are crafted from DSR-1K6 high-carbon stainless steel, manufactured by Daido Steel Co., Ltd. This high-performance blade steel contains 0.6% carbon and a balanced molybdenum addition. Proudly made in Seki, Japan.
The hammered design not only enhances the appearance of the blade, but also adds a sense of luxury and showcases the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship, while also enhancing food release.
Note:
Avoid twisting the edge or striking the blade. Do not cut frozen foods or bones, as the thinner, sharper edge of Japanese knives may chip or break. Since Japanese knives are handcrafted, slight scratches may appear naturally.
