However,\n  it is much harder and more durable than many of the kitchen knives in the market\n  as it uses high-carbon material. The key to making a thin yet strong blade is the technique of forging hard steel and soft iron together,\n  which was developed through Japanese katana making. By combining the hard steel with more resilient and softer iron, the knife can better withstand the impact. That is why our kitchen knife is thin and sharp yet unbreakable and unbendable at the same time. It is also easy to sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is JIZAKAI?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Jizakai” is a “proof of handmade craftsmanship.” There are only a few knife smiths in Sakai who can achieve the “optimal blade attachment.” Knives made from blade attachment have a “Jizakai,” a mark of the forge-welding between soft iron and steel. Occasionally, a slight gap can be seen in this Jizakai, but it is a “proof that the craftsman carefully forge-welded at low temperatures” to enhance the knife’s hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these are handmade items, the presence or absence of gaps may vary by product.
