VG-1 Stainless Steel
VG-1 (Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd.) is quality Japanese High Carbon Stainless Steel that is popular for making cutlery. It has good corrosion resistance, edge retention and edge sharpness and is capable of achieving a relatively high Rockwell hardness.

Damascus is a laminated steel knife made of several layers of different steel materials. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, and both sides are covered with multiple soft steel materials. The multiple steels are metallurgically joined, not by plating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the ripples become, and the more beautiful the unique grain pattern becomes.

Awesome quality. I took a trip to Japan earlier this year and was able to visit the storefront, which definitely made me want to purchase a knife for my brother in-law who loves working in the kitchen. I got him this knife with his name engraved on it in Japanese as a Christmas gift. He couldn't stop talking about how beautifully made and well crafted the blade was. 🤍 Highly recommend this shop and I'm extremely grateful for those who take pride in not only the quality of these blades but, the sale and making sure that it arrived in a timely manner. Grateful for the quick replies and updates on my purchase as well!

Good knife

Grwat looking knife very sharp works great only thing is I’m a chef and was using it as my daily knife and the handle is a little lose now. Nothing major just thought it would hold up a little better. I only use it for veggies mainly now but still love it!

Really fantastic knife, I treated myself to this one as a utility, all-round, everyday - and have been really impressed with the edge, feel and weight!

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
