Hinoura is one of the most popular blacksmiths out of Sanjo in Japan. All knives are hand-forged, and no blade leaves Hinoura's hands before it is razor-sharp and forged to perfection. In this series, the Aogami Super carbon steel is used, hardened to 64 HRC. It is a very hard carbon steel that holds its sharpness well and takes a razor-sharp edge. Hinoura's knives are extremely popular, and the delivery time is very long.

The blade's finish is called kurouchi, providing a raw and beautiful surface with a black-oxidized layer.

Note: Carbon steel is not stainless. Over time, the blade will develop a beautiful patina, although the black kurouchi finish provides good protection. If the blade is left in moisture, rust may occur. Also, be aware that the thin and hard blade can be damaged when cutting through hard ingredients, bones, or frozen food.
