The Kanehide PS series is made using PS60 (Pure Steel 60) stainless steel, a fine-grained alloy based on Hitachi’s Gin5 steel, long favored by razor blade manufacturers for its edge stability and toughness. Kanehide elevates this steel through a specialized heat treatment that brings hardness to 60–61 HRC, then further improves wear resistance with a cryogenic liquid-nitrogen process. The result is a stainless steel that sharpens easily, takes a very refined edge, and holds it well in daily use.
This knife is constructed from mono steel with no cladding, keeping the blade light, thin, and extremely nimble in hand. The profile features a well-executed distal taper from mid-blade to tip, contributing to excellent control and smooth cutting feel. Fit and finish are notably high, with a rounded choil and spine for comfort and a clean, consistent grind throughout. The shorter blade height makes it an excellent choice for users with smaller hands or anyone looking for a precise, agile knife for detail work, garnishes, and smaller prep tasks.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Avoid cutting frozen foods, bones, or hard materials. Store dry.

For the price awesome. Cant really compare to a lot but the fit and finish was excellent. Ootb edge was only ok but with a little work on the stones excellent. Has held its edge well for the occasional use it gets.

I bought this knife to use as a work horse in my busy kitchen, as I feared taking my carbon steel knives will be abused. This is an extremely beautiful knife and fits my medium sized hand perfectly. Cuts through stuff like butter. The craftsmanship and polishing on the handle is other worldly, done by hand I believe,
