The White #2 carbon steel edge is an excellent choice for both toughness and a fine edge for exact slices. The White #2 Carbon edge with soft black iron cladding provides a distinctive look as the final layer of iron has an oxide coating to help prevent rust.  Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.   Blade 2 Layers; Hand Forged Edge White #2 Carbon Steel Layers Iron with Oxide Coating HRC 62 Bevel Single Handle Octagonal Wa HandleWalnut handle CAUTION: All Carbon steel blades will patina through regular use and will easily rust if left wet.
