Ginsan steel is a traditional stainless steel that has long been used in the world of Japanese knives. It is a steel that has been trusted by chefs for its sharpness, which is essential for Japanese knives.
Ginsan steel was developed by Hitachi Metals, the manufacturer of Yasuki steels such as Shirogami and Aogami, as a rust-resistant stainless steel. Ginsan steel is a variation of this silver paper steel with increased carbon content for higher hardness.
It is a steel that holds its edge well even among stainless steels, making it ideal for those who use their knives for extended periods.
