He is among the most skilled blacksmiths from Sakai, and is one of the few who forges honyaki knives. He has also received a medal from the Japanese government, for keeping alive traditional Japanese craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis knife is made in honyaki construction, which means it is a piece of steel, in this case Shirogami 3, which has been differentially hardened. You do this by putting clay on the back of the knife before hardening the knife. The clay causes the back of the knife to cool down more slowly, so that it becomes soft in the back and gives stability to the knife. The edge, where there is no clay on it, cools down faster and therefore becomes harder in the steel. This process also creates a lot of stress in the steel during hardening, which causes many honyakis to break during production. For this reason, honyakis cost significantly more than normal 3 ply knives. The combination of the softer back and hard edge gives a unique cutting experience that is very different from other knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShirogami 3 or White 3 is a carbon steel, and is in the category of so-called white steel. Shirogami 3 is among the purest carbon steels from Japan, and for this reason it can be incredibly sharp, and is very easy to sharpen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe knife here is a so-called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eutility knife\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e of 15 cm. After the chef's knife, it is probably the most universal knife of the common types, and can also replace a chef's knife in many ways. It is not quite as tall as a chef's knife and is also shorter, making it very easy to handle. It can be used for slicing vegetables and cutting smaller pieces of meat - and it is fantastically good for trimming meat as well as finer cutting tasks in fruit and vegetables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 562px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 562px;\" data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 26.75px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"height: 26.75px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px;
