VG10

VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel containing cobalt, known for its hardness, exceptional sharpness, and wear resistance. This material is highly regarded among professional chefs. Developed and manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd., a Japanese company, VG-10 utilizes a layered construction: a hard VG-10 core for optimal edge retention, sandwiched between softer outer layers for enhanced durability and ease of sharpening. Due to VG-10's hardness, a ceramic sharpening stone is recommended for efficient sharpening.

Note:
While the VG-10 core and outer layers are rust-resistant, it is essential to wash, wipe, and thoroughly dry the knife after each use. Should rust appear, it can be removed using a cleanser or sharpening stone (minor scratches may occur). To prevent damage, avoid twisting the blade, striking hard surfaces, or cutting with excessive force. Do not use the knife to cut frozen foods or bones, as the thin Japanese blade, designed for exceptional sharpness, is susceptible to chipping or breakage. Due to the handcrafted nature of Japanese knives, minor scratches may be present.
