A Great bang for the buck on these hand ground factory forged san mai VG1 stainless steel knives made in Seki, Gifu prefecture Japan. These convex faced blades are ground thin behind the edge giving them great smooth cutting feel and good food release. VG1 is a stainless Japanese cutlery steel that is very similar to more well known VG10 but lacks some of the wear resistance of VG10 giving it slightly less edge life and toughness but giving it much easier sharpenability with excellent edge formation.
In many ways it is very similar to some popular Swedish stainless steels but without the name recognition. These are finished and handled simply but definitely outperform their finish level and price.

This is a stainless steel knife. It should be hand washed and towel dried. Habitual dishwasher use will result in degraded edge and handle. Consistent long term exposure to moisture can lead to oxidation.
Twisting, scraping and heavy use as well as use on hard and very dense objects can lead to edge damage. Using a quality wooden cutting board will keep a sharper edge for longer. Materials like glass, ceramic and bamboo should be avoided and will make the edge go dull quickly.
We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most Japanese knives perform best at a finer finish starting around 4000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Ceramic honing rods are preferred.
