This TKG-Pro "GINGIN" is one of the high class knife series with stainless handles, whose blade never compromise with the sharpness as TKG does the other series.
The blade is made of fine Molybdenum and Vanadium special steel "IK-6" supplied by Daido Steel Co., Ltd.

The edge is finished single-edge shape, which we cannot do on multi-layered knives. This makes the cutting efficiency better in heavy use for your work.
Moisture-resistant grip is designed for long-time comfort and better control to resist slip with water or oil. Integrated handle of stainless steel with "Hand-fitting pattern" is quite sanitary, easy for sterilizing bacteria by hot water.
