Regarding the cost of the steel material, carbon steel generally increases in price in the order of SK → Yellow → White → Blue. Based on the feel when sharpening and the way it shines, I believe this knife is Yellow or White steel, not SK. * Depending on the maker and model, SK steel can also be expensive. [Other] To reduce resistance to food, the blade sides (near the stamp a little, and the cloudy areas to a certain extent) have been thinned and then sharpened. The shiny parts are carbon steel. The amount of carbon steel exposed on the surface differs between the left and right sides, but there are no problems in terms of practicality or maintenance. Please refrain from using it on bones or frozen foods. The area near the blade tip is prone to rust. * Price reduction not possible. Thank you for your understanding.
