   Material

   Japanese knives are traditionally made with a type of carbon steel called Hagane (鋼). The blades are forged in multiple layers, with a brittle carbon steel core and a softer iron steel outer layer. This combination produces an extremely sharp edge, similar to a Japanese sword. Hagane is not as hard as stainless steel and can chip from tough fish bones and rust from residual bits of food or droplets of water on the blade. Thus, professional chefs rigorously maintain their knives to avoid dulln...

   Bevel

   Traditional Japanese knives are characterized by their single-bevel blade, a sharpened edge on one side of the blade surface and the other completely straight.
