Stainless Clad High-Carbon Knives

If you want the sharpness of carbon steel without all of its upkeep, start here. Each knife in this collection has a high-carbon core of Blue Steel, Super Blue, White Steel or SK steel forge-welded between stainless steel outer layers. The core takes a fine, keen edge and the stainless cladding resists rust.

Shapes include gyuto, santoku, nakiri, petty, kiritsuke and kiridashi, in polished, kurouchi black-forged and nashiji finishes. Wipe the edge dry after use and the knife will develop a gentle patina over time. See also the Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Series.
