Ittesu Knives forged by blacksmith Tadayoshi Kajiwara from shirogami #1 carbon steel and clad in iron they require more diligence during use and storage to avoid rust and discolouration. Shirogami #1 steel is the easiest steel to sharpen and it takes a fantastic edge with little effort. After forging Kajiwara-san sends these blades to a young sharpener by the name of Abe-san who was previously the head sharpener for Yoshimi Kato-san before he struck out on his own and now works in his own shop not far from the Takefu Knife village. These are great value knives and Abe-san's beveling and sharpening is top notch.
