Hand forged 170mm Santoku with stainless clad VG1 stainless steel blade with tsuchime hammer marks and Octagonal shaped ho and horn handle made in Takefu Japan.
VG1 is similar to VG10 in carbon and chromium content (around 1% and 15% each respectively) but lacks the vanadium and cobalt of VG10 which makes VG1 easier to sharpen but with slightly less edge life. It is an excellent quality stainless that has a good balance of characteristics, great for those who want to maintain an edge easily that requires low maintenance. These are hardened to 61/62, and care must be taken to avoid chips from mistreatment.

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.
