About Syosaku Japanese Chef Knife Hammered Damascus VG-10
High carbon content (1%) combined with special production techniques give exceptional hardness (HRC 60-62) to the core. The hardness allows the thinner blade edge, resulting in razor sharpness. High chromium content (15%) and other alloy components make it stainless. The hard VG-10 is clad in softer stainless steel. This gives the blade an added toughness and durability, as well as stunning Damascus beauty. Handcrafted in Sakai Japan, where the master craftsmanship has been handed down generation to generation for centuries. FEATURES - Total length: 15 inches - Weight: 0.6 pound - Blade length: 9.5 inches - Width at widest heel: 2 inches - Bevel: Both-sided 50/50 - Rockwell hardness: 60-62 - Finishing: Hammered finish - Handle fixing: 2 types with no practical differences. One shows metal on the bottom part of handle, the other not. Both triple riveted to the full tang with the same performances and durability. PACKAGE CONTENT A gyutou (chef's) knife with a clear plastic blade cover in a fancy box. MAINTENANCE Can be left wet during use, but don't leave it in water for a long time.
