Kurosaki Fujin VG-10 Santoku
This Japanese santoku knife has a core of rust resistant Japanese VG-10 with an outer layer of rust-resistant damask steel (pattern steel). VG-10 steel is one of the most used steels in Japanese kitchen knives. The steel is characterized by a high hardness and high toughness without the steel being brittle. This steel is perfect for regular use in the kitchen and is easy to sharpen. This double-sided sharpened knife has a very nice hammer-blow pattern. This knife is completely hand-forged by master smith Yu Kurosaki and is unique in its kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy.
