Kurosaki Fujin VG-10 nakiri (vegetable knife), 160 mm
Kurosaki Fujin VG-10 Nakiri,
This Japanese vegetable knife has a core of rust-resistant Japanese VG-10 with an outer layer of rust-resistant damask steel (patterned steel). VG-10 steel is one of the most commonly 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 hammered pattern. Completely hand-forged by master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki, this knife is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy.
