What is Ginsan?

Gingami No. 3 is one of the high-grade stainless steel materials (Yasuki Hagane) manufactured by Hitachi Metals, commonly known as "Ginsan." It is highly regarded as a knife material that achieves the sharp cutting ability and ease of sharpening of carbon steel (hagane) while being corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Knife blades are said to be sharper the harder they are, and hagane is generally harder than stainless steel. However, hagane has the characteristic of being prone to rust, leading to the saying, "The rustier the blade, the better it cuts." Ginsan is a special steel that was developed to combine the best of both worlds, aiming for rust resistance while being hagane.
