About Kanetsune's 800-Series:

Knives of the 800-Series are a little smaller than the regular Santoku and Nakiri. The simple handles are O-shaped, without a bolster. These are quite sought-after. The Hon-Warikomi-clad blades are made of Takefu Shiro-2 high carbon steel cuttigng core which is sandwiched between SUS410 stainless steel. This provides excellent edge-retention to a hardness of HRC 59 or more.
