Silver 3 / Ginsan
Ginsan steel is commonly used in high-end Japanese chef knives where precision and sharpness are prioritized but where corrosion resistance is also valued. Its versatility and low-maintenance properties make it suitable for various kitchen tasks, from delicate slicing to heavier chopping, without compromising edge quality.
As a result, Ginsan steel knives are favored by chefs seeking a blend of traditional performance characteristics with modern practicality.
