This mini chef was forged from antique wagon wheel San mai. The core steel is 26c3, I really like it and I think it takes a great edge while also holding it well. This knife has a kasumi finish which was done with Japanese natural stones. The polish was finished with my ohira suita. This knife was forged thin and has a low bevel which will polish easily. The handle on this knife is a round/oval handle with spalted maple.
