- Knife Information
Okeya knives are crafted by a Father and Son team in Miki City, Hyogo. The Ginsan (Silver 3, GIN3) Stainless Steel series of knives are incredible value for money, perhaps the best we offer. All stainless, with a unique Tsuchime (hammered) finish, they are hardened to HRC61 and hold a great edge without being brittle, whilst being very light and nimble. The grinds are thin behind the edge but come to have a 2mm thick spine. Ginsan is a high carbon stainless that sharpens and performs similar to Blue Steel, but costs far less.
This knife is great for:
✅ Your first Japanese knife
✅ A low maintenance, low fuss option
✅ Those who like lighter knives
✅ General purpose cutting (veg, small meats etc)
