The Science
Hard Steel. Thin Edge. Total Control.
Japanese Knives
- ✦ Steel hardness: 60–67 HRC
- ✦ Blade angle: 10–15° per side
- ✦ Thinner, lighter blade
- ✦ Stays sharper longer
- ✦ Precision cutting for delicate foods
Western Knives
- — Steel hardness: 52–58 HRC
- — Blade angle: 20–25° per side
- — Thicker, heavier blade
- — Dulls more quickly
- — More durable for heavy-duty tasks
