Tojiro Classic Paring Knife 9cm Studio Heavy forged aluminium body forThree layers, and the reason for them is the whole point. A blade that is hard all the way through holds a superb edge but fights you when it is time to sharpen. A soft blade sharpens easily and goes dull just as fast. So the hard steel goes in the middle where the edge is, and softer stainless goes either side. You get the cutting edge of a hard Japanese steel with a knife that still sharpens on a normal stone and does not chip if it knocks a bone.
