Handle Material: Desert ironwood with blond buffalo ferrule
Our brand, Shisei, embodies the Japanese concept of "Magokoro," meaning "From our heart." It reflects our commitment to sincerity and genuine craftsmanship in every knife we carry. Our brand is crafted by highly skilled knifemakers with precision and artistry from all across Japan.
Handling the knife is a pleasure, thanks to its lightness, well-balanced design, making cooking a joyous experience.
While the AUS10 steel, which is stainless steel, shares similarities with VG10, it offers slightly more impact resistance, making it a suitable choice for those seeking both performance and easy sharpening.
Maintenance is straightforward—simply rinse and dry the knife after each use and store it appropriately, whether on a rack, in a saya or blade guard, or even in the presentation box.
Overall, the AUS10 knife presents an attractive option for those seeking their first Japanese knife or looking to expand their collection. With its combination of beauty and performance straight out of the box, it's a recommendation we make without hesitation.
