Manufactured by Kataoka and Company in Niigata, Japan. 5 stainless steel for the SAN knives, because V-G No. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of .65 mm.

The 3-ply stainless steel has an original thickness of 20 mm and is thinned by repeated rolling to a thickness of 2 mm. 5 cutting edge reaches a hardness of 58-60 degrees on the Rockwell scale and a final thickness of.65 mm.
