VG XEOS is a new stainless steel from Takefu Specialty Steel that is designed to have both high corrosion resistance and maintain a good toughness at high hardnesses. We have not found it difficult to sharpen compared to other Japanese stainless steels and our initial tests point to nice edge life and edge formation from this steel.

Nigara Hamono in Hirosaki City in Aomori Prefecture is a 350 year old metalworking company with sword making roots. Blacksmith Go Yoshizawa has expanded Nigara's range to include kitchen knives.
