This treatment of ginsanko can be sharpened at a variety of finishes depending to the users taste, but it does great in the 4-6K finish range.Ginsanko is a fine grained, high carbon content (1% + carbon), low chromium (13%) stainless steel with the cutting and sharpening feel of a carbon steel, but less maintenance with regard to reactivity. Although it won’t rust, keep dry when not in use to preserve edge life.
