The Shiragaki knife is a special Japanese laminated marking knife used for trimming & shaping, but it is especially good for light trimming as in use as a chisel. The top of the blade has a right hand bevel edge with the back side flat & hollow ground for easy re-sharpening.Mr. Ikeuchi master blacksmith along with his fellow blacksmiths hand forge, grind, & sharpen these knives. White high carbon steel laminated on top with a softer layer of steel allowing the blade to be hardened to Rockwell 64. With all steel as it becomes harder & tougher, it will be more brittle & can snap in half, the soft steel lamination arrests this possibility. These knives we carry from Mr. Ikeuchi are beveled ground on one side only & flat to edge on the underside yet hollow ground as a common practice to facilitate less time in re-honing to a sharp edge.
