With an HRC rating that is neither too high nor too low, this stainless steel knife can be easily sharpened not only with a whetstone but also with a simple sharpener or honing rod. As this knife has a single-layer blade, those familiar with using whetstones can easily customize the edge, such as converting it from double-beveled to single-beveled. In addition to its excellent maintenance properties, the rust-resistant blade material and the durable, bolstered handle make this knife exceptionally easy to handle. Please note that the original retail price of this knife is $40. However, since this knife has been opened for photography purposes, I have decided to offer this one knife for $30. ・What is KAI Corporation?
