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
