Fine, thin ground stainless clad VG10 stainless steel with a composite pakka wood handle.

Thinner and with more convexity to face than most stainless clad VG10 in this price range, they cut very smoothly and wedge very little. With their fine edges these are more delicate than thicker stainless clad VG10 but they wedge far less and are easier to sharpen than thicker edged VG10 knives

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.
