VG1 - The Reliable Workhorse
VG1 is a high carbon stainless steel that delivers a sharp, long-lasting edge with minimal maintenance - no rust risk, easy to sharpen on Japanese water stones, and forgiving enough for everyday use. The 210mm blade is the professional's preferred length - long enough for slicing proteins and breaking down large vegetables, short enough for precise, controlled work. The tsuchime hammered finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. The rosewood handle adds warmth and a more premium feel compared to pakkawood. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash and dry - dishwasher not recommended
Sharpen on Japanese water stones
Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
