Why You'll Love It

VG10 Steel – Proven Japanese Performance

At the core of the blade is VG10 stainless steel, hardened to approximately 60–61 HRC.

Known for its balance of performance and practicality, VG10 offers:

• razor-sharp cutting performance
• excellent edge retention
• outstanding corrosion resistance
• easy maintenance

It delivers the precision Japanese knives are famous for while remaining practical for everyday use.

68-Layer Damascus Construction

The VG10 core is protected by 68 layers of Damascus steel, creating a blade that is both strong and visually striking.

This construction helps to:

• reinforce the cutting edge
• improve durability
• reduce brittleness
• create a unique flowing Damascus pattern

Every knife has its own individual character.

Tsuchime Hammered Finish

The traditional Tsuchime (hammered) finish creates small air pockets that help reduce food sticking during cutting.

The result is smoother slicing, easier food release, and a blade with a distinctive handcrafted appearance.

Ebony Octagonal Wa Handle

The knife is fitted with a premium octagonal ebony wa-handle, offering:

• excellent balance
• secure grip
• moisture resistance
• comfortable control for both left- and right-handed users
