This alloy is enriched with carbon (1.2%), which makes it extremely rigid (62-63 HRC). As a result, its edge retention is outstanding. Use after use, the knife stays effective and delivers superb cutting performance. This steel is also easy to sharpen, saving you time despite its rigidity. It is then wrapped in stainless steel, which forms a barrier against corrosion and makes it less brittle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA handle with striking contrast\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wusaki Nakata BS2 chef's knife has a handle made of walnut wood.
