Kato Ginsan Nashiji

Ginsan, also called Silver 3, is one of Yoshimi Kato's favorite steels to work with, and this line shows why. It sharpens and performs much like a reactive carbon steel while staying genuinely corrosion-resistant. The nashiji pear skin finish on the cladding gives every blade a distinctive, textured look. CKTG has carried this line for years and it remains one of the most practical, low-maintenance options across the entire Kato catalog.
