Why You'll Love It

VG10 Stainless Steel Core

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

One of Japan's most respected knife steels, VG10 delivers an outstanding balance of sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Benefits include:

• razor-sharp cutting performance
• excellent edge retention
• smooth, effortless slicing
• strong corrosion resistance
• easy maintenance

Sharpened to a fine Japanese edge, the blade glides cleanly through ingredients with minimal resistance, preserving both texture and presentation.

68-Layer Damascus Construction

The VG10 core is protected by 68 layers of stainless Damascus steel, creating a blade that is as durable as it is beautiful.

This construction:

• reinforces the cutting core
• improves structural strength
• enhances durability
• creates a unique flowing Damascus pattern

Every knife carries its own distinctive Damascus character.

Traditional Tsuchime Finish

The blade features a classic Tsuchime (hammered) finish, applied as the final stage of production.

The hammered surface creates tiny air pockets that help:

• reduce food sticking
• improve food release
• create smoother cutting
• increase efficiency during preparation

A perfect example of Japanese craftsmanship where aesthetics and function work together.

Comfortable Japanese Handle

Designed for balance and comfort, the handle provides:

• secure grip
• excellent control
• lightweight handling
• comfortable use during extended prep sessions

Its balanced construction allows the knife to feel agile despite its generous blade length.
