Ho Series by MAC

The Traditional Japanese (HO Series) collection features authentic single-bevel Japanese knives. They are constructed with a kasumi (laminated) blade featuring a Yasuki Shirogami (white steel) carbon core supported by softer steel/iron layers. Each blade is hand-forged and certified by the Sakai Cutlery Association as a traditional Japanese handmade knife. The collection is fitted with traditional, round magnolia wood handles finished with a genuine buffalo horn cap, the color of which varies naturally. Wooden scabbards are also available for these knives. (Note: Shirogami steel has a high carbon content and is not stainless; proper care, including thorough cleaning and drying after use, is required to prevent chipping and rusting).
