Také (translated:bamboo, Pr: Tah-kay) series knives are made of Shirogami #2 white steel. Ferrules are buffalo horn with an oiled magnolia wood handle. A bit softer than aogami, many sushi chefs prefer this steel type as it is easier to sharpen and more affordable. Také knives are ideal for frequent home users and professionals shopping for value.
