Care Advisement: Stainless Steel
This blade is stainless steel. While it is resistant to stains and corrosion, “stain-less” does not mean “stain-proof.” Care must still be taken to keep the blade dry when not in use. Wipe dry after each use and ideally between preparing different products, especially when using acidic and salty products. Hand wash and dry only. Store away from liquids and open windows. Keep the blade covered when storing or traveling. Use only on appropriate cutting surfaces such as softer woods and plastic.

Care advisement: Carbon with Stainless Clad
This blade has a stainless cladding around most of the knife except for the edge, which is fully carbon. Care must still be used to avoid rust especially on the carbon portion of the blade. Wipe dry after each use, and ideally between preparing different products, especially when using acidic and salty products. A patina will form over time on the carbon portion helping increase stain resistance slightly. Hand wash and dry only. Store away from liquids and open windows. Keep the blade covered when storing or traveling. Use only on appropriate cutting surfaces such as softer woods and plastics.

Hakuto

Medium hardness, they are ideal for creating softer bevel changes and finishing full convex grinds. Given the available grits are only medium to high grit, Hakuto 1 stones are best left for use after initial, coarser work has been completed. 

Recommended for advanced users.

These thin (2.5mm) options are more affordable than the standard thickness (3.5mm) but will still sharpen for a very long time.
