The name Ginsou translates to “Silver Frost,” a fitting tribute to the soft, misty appearance of its Damascus layering. Crafted by Hatsukokoro, this 210mm Kiritsuke blade is built around a Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel core, prized for its clean cutting feel, excellent edge retention, and low-maintenance nature.
Clad in nickel Damascus, the blade shows off a subtle depth and shimmer that recalls early morning fog drifting across still water. The finish is Migaki polished in clean, straight strokes along the blade, giving the Ginsou Series a refined appearance without becoming overly flashy.
In the kitchen, Ginsan offers the convenience of stainless steel with much of the sharpening feel and precision people love about high-end carbon steels. Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, the double-beveled edge offers a great balance of sharpness, durability, and everyday usability.
