Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This steel is not stain resistant. High-carbon steel can rust or develop a patina if not kept dry and cared for, in exchange for the sharper edge it holds.
Saya Cover
This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

Product Details
Our Custom-Order Yoshihiro Honyaki White Steel #2 Knife embodies the pinnacle of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, available exclusively upon request. Honyaki, meaning "true forged," represents the most refined aspects of Japanese sword-making. Each knife is meticulously hand-forged from a single piece of White Steel #2, requiring extraordinary skill to withstand the intense temperatures exceeding thousands of degrees within a traditional furnace.
Crafted by master artisans with over 50 years of experience, our Honyaki knives reflect the highest standards in Japanese knife-making. The process involves heating the steel to extreme temperatures, followed by quenching in cool water, achieving an impressive Rockwell hardness of 65. This technique results in knives of exceptional durability, sharpness, and aesthetic beauty, making them not only functional tools but also exquisite works of art.
