At this hardness, the blade holds a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than softer Western kitchen knives and cuts with less resistance through all kitchen prep tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is San Mai construction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSan Mai sandwiches a hard steel core between softer outer layers.
