This alloy is enriched with carbon (1.2%), which makes it extremely rigid (62-63 HRC on the Rockwell scale). As a result, its edge retention is outstanding. Use after use, the knife stays effective and delivers clean, precise cuts. 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 in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn authentic handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWusaki Nogami BS2 knife\u003c\/strong\u003e has a handle made of walnut wood.
