This steel is very popular among the most renowned and largest Japanese knife manufacturers, it is used, among others, by:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etojiro, mcusta, spyderco, boker, due to its good sharpness and corrosion resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e. The steel itself has been designed specifically for the different types of blades.
