Blade Materials

While edge design, blade shape and handle construction are important features of the knives in the Korin collection, the distinctive element of each knife is the steel used to make it.

Japanese knife makers have always chosen their materials carefully, and today’s chef knives are forged with similar methods that were used by traditional sword craftsmen for generations.

The knives in Korin’s collection are forged out of many different types of steel- from hard high carbon shiro-ko steel to stain resistant ao-ko steel. We encourage you to browse through our collection to find the type of knife most suitable for your needs.
