Japanese Forging at Its Finest

The VG10 core is forged between two layers of softer damascus-patterned steel using the Suminagashi technique - a traditional Japanese forging method that produces the distinctive flowing pattern visible on the blade flat. The outer layers protect the core steel from damage and oxidation while the tsuchime hammered finish creates air pockets that reduce drag and prevent food from sticking. At 240mm, this blade covers the full length of large vegetables and proteins in fewer strokes. The octagonal rosewood handle sits naturally in the hand for extended prep sessions. Handmade in Echizen, Japan.
