SG2 high carbon stainless steel kitchen knives offer incredible edge retention. Just as the edge retention is satisfactory enough, ease of sharpening makes it even better. Once you equip your kitchen with one, expect to use it for many years, given adequate care methods.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
