Kofuse-zukuri is a difficult technique that requires a high level of skill and experience, and is the same manufacturing method used for Japanese swords.
The Kofuse-zukuri method was developed in 1995 out of the desire to create something unique, something with the sharpness of forging but with the elasticity of a sword.
Conventional hammered blades are made by inserting steel into steel (steel is sandwiched between steel), but Kofuse-zukuri is the opposite: steel is inserted into steel, in other words, steel is wrapped around extremely soft iron, which serves as the core metal, in the same way as Japanese swords are made.
This highly technical and time-consuming forging process is said to be the reason why Yasugi steel is as resilient as spring steel, strong, and durable (does not chip).
Incidentally, the brand name "Red Orca" was named after Shozo Akitomo, the sales manager of the company, who is fond of orcas.
Easy to rust
