However, it is much harder and more durable than many of the kitchen knives in the market as it uses high-carbon material. The key to making a thin yet strong blade is the technique of forging hard steel and soft iron together, which was developed through Japanese katana making. By combining the hard steel with more resilient and softer iron, the knife can better withstand the impact. That is why our kitchen knife is thin and sharp yet unbreakable and unbendable at the same time. It is also easy to sharpen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs our kitchen knife is very sharp, we recommend that you use a chopping board made of unfinished soft wood.
